Manual Muscle Testing

This week is full of Fall. It is beautiful outside about 70-75 during the day with sun and breeze. St Louis is beautiful this season. It is hard to stay inside and write the papers I need to write. My window looks out towards the beautiful park making it all that much harder to study.

Now that my jet-lag is over I am once again so happy to be in st louis and learning so much. This week I am working on manual muscle testing, Range of Motion, and individual muscle testing. We have a practical exam next week before fieldwork and I need lots of practice. So I am going to try to bust out the rest of my sports experience paper and the historical occupational therapy paper and the biomechanic activity analysis article review.... maybe I will make it back to the gym this week...although all the walking I do, to the market, to school, to everywhere...is probably working a lot of calories off plus the dancing. Study breaks have evolved into dance breaks often inspired by some pop artist of the 90s or Broadway soundtrack.

that is enough for now...

lots of love and peace this week. And especially thanks to our Lord for blessing Amy and her new husband, as well as the 33 miners in Chile who have returned safely to their families.
