Hi all
After a week of long days including a seminar from Dr Carey, an Australian OT whom is working with stroke sensory recovery from a training program perspective using neurological aspects. It was amazing to listen to and I would love to one day continue on with my education and also get my phd in neurology. Such a beautiful science. My classmates and I also did our first IN_HOME assessment for an 88-year old woman. We used the I-Hope to determine her barriers within her home. It was such a fun experience and it felt like a glimpse of being an OT. And lastly, I am working with a group of kids whose mothers are in a residence facility for recovering addicts. I get to create small groups for the kids and work on issues such as bullying. I really loved it and am so excited for the weeks ahead.
And after all this class and many hours of extra school work, my friend Diane celebrated her 24th birthday at hard rock and wild country.
yes, wild country which is on Horseshoe lane in a small suburb of Illinois. And it was a line dancing place.... to say the least it was a culture shock. I felt like I had walked into a movie like Hope Floats or some small town western movie. It was awesome. After watching for a while my friends and I joined in and tried out some moves. It was so fun and funny. I even had a nice country boy ask me to dance. It was a blast!! And now back to home. PS it was in the 70s today! Beautiful and sunny. Oh st Louis sometimes I actually enjoy you!
