No Pain, No Gain

So today was a sad day for my patients. Everyone seemed to be in non-relenting pain with no explicable or fixable cause. I always feel sympathy for pt's with knee or hip surgeries, but know that eventually they will get to a point where they feel relief and feel their results are totally worth the pain. Today, was not one of those days. From a pt crying to me in italian/ spanish that the brace we had worked so hard to get was making the pain worse. From the poor person who went from I to max A in a matter of a day due to a surgical complication. To doctors yelling at Pts because they are frustrated the ortho doctor is MIA, like PTs can magically locate the pain...maybe we've changed our profession and have X-ray vision now, on top of a DPT....but seriously...today was sad and depressing, and hopefully tomorrow, all the results come back and our pts are feeling less pain and more functional....HOPEFULLY!!!

Find a happy place :)

I just like this song...

Happy thought :)

"Since the moment I spotted you
Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies
And it's alright
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud
I got the feelin' like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied

Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out, everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right

So I'll say why don't you and I get together an' take on the world, be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other, fly to the moon
and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in

When's this fever gonna break ?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around
And it's alright
Bouncin' round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied

Every time I try to talk to you
Get tongue-tied
Turns out, everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right

So I'll say why don't you and I get together an' take on the world
and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I get together, fly to the moon
and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in

Slowly I begin to realize this is never gonna end
But about the same time you walk by
And I say oh here we go again, oh

Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out, everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right

So I'll say why don't you and I get together an' take on the world
and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other, fly to the moon
and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in

So I'll say why don't you and I get together take and on the world
and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other, fly to the moon
and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in

So I`ll say why don't you and I get together and take on the world
and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again"

Married People!

Marisa and Jonathan got married this weekend after much hubub and mayhem. Their wedding day was beautiful and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. Time spent with family was so much fun and it was great to even get to see cousins who do not often get a chance to visit. Wishing them a beginning of happily ever after :)
