All the wild and woolly things

It's getting much cooler here in RehabLand. The dreaded Arctic winds are making their way back, just as they normally do (or did). Last week, we had three of four seasons in a week, but it seems like winter is coming and no other season will be allowed.

The wild: all sorts of construction craziness. Since the SU sits near the front of the building at our pastoral campus, the woollies are the critters trying to get in. A few of them (namely mice) are showing up in our office rooms.

We're also getting a lot of patients. It seems like there's always a rush to get your rehab done before the holidays, but some people don't always make it. We do our best to be festive and motivating during the holiday season.

Lately, we're getting lots of unusual diagnoses including presbycusis and Colles' fracture. It's giving me plenty of homework looking up conditions. I also had a patient come to see me about MRSA. The CDC website was very helpful. Said patient felt relieved in knowing what to look for and they provide some nice patient education.

Well, I'm going to get wrapped up in my own woollies and get ready for tomorrow.

I wish you a great week wherever you go!
