    Maggie,

    Sounds like you had a great time in acute care and were able to really gain some hands-on experience. That's so exciting! It's so fun to have the ability to practice emerging skills in an environment where constructive feedback is encouraged. It makes me feel more comfortable to know that it's acceptable for me to not do something perfect. I hope you have a fantastic summer! Great video!

    I think everything that you described in your video is something that will be learned and practiced while on Level 2's and in the first few years of practice. It sounds like you had a great time on your field work experience and were able to really get some good hands on practice. Have a great summer break!

    Maggie, I really enjoyed hearing about your experience. Sounds like you learned a lot. Like you, I was also able to get a ton of hands on experience. I now feel like I have the skills necessary to be successful for level 2 rotations. I thought your thorns were very thought out, you'll have plenty of time to work on them over the next couple of months. Great video! Tell Reggie I said hey!

Congenital Muscular Dystrophy- Bradley Walker

Bradley Walker is a 39 year old country music singer that was born with a congenital form of muscular dystrophy called congenital myopothy which means he has had this condition since birth. Bradley has been in a wheelchair his entire life so which I feel would be better than being diagnosed with regular muscular dystrophy where you are able to walk and live independently then you slowly lose function in your body before the disease kills you. The life expectancy for someone with muscular dystrophy is very short, whereas Bradley will live a long full life. Audrey made her goals for OT to target muscle fatigue and independent living in his household such as cooking and other ADLs. She also made a goal of his to be able to drive an adaptive vehicle on his own which he is now able to do. Bradley said he has never been sad about the hand he was dealt as he was given the ability to sing and that is freeing to him. He wouldn't trade his voice for a healthy body as he is able to reach peop...

TBI and how it changes everything

I have always had an interest in working with trauma patients in Occupational Therapy. The human brain is an amazing thing and how it can sustain such injury and recover is somewhat of a miracle. However, TBI's can change you. My boyfriend's step dad acquired a TBI after being bucked off a mule on a pavement road. It took months of recovery and he was able to return back to work but he has told me first hand he lost many of his friends due to his accident because people said he changed and didn't know how to act around him. I've talked to him first hand on his experience because the accident happened before I knew him so to me he's just then same sweet Kevin I've always known. Kevin has told me that this has affected his confidence and he doesn't see the same person when he looks in the mirror anymore. He also lost his sense of smell which affects his taste and he doesn't even like the same foods as before. I just feel that people should be more aware...
