I didn't know PT could work in a month. How many appointments does he want you to happen?
I don't know if you'll suffer permanent damage if it's not treated by a PT right away, but that doesn't mean you should just live with an arm that hurts and doesn't function fully in the meanwhile. That's not supposed to be your status quo.
At the very least, did he suggest anything to mitigate the pain and make sure that you don't ossify in the meanwhile? PT appointments can be a real bitch to get--repeatedly fussing for a cancellation might be good, but that doesn't ensure a series of appointments--are there other PTs you could see?
Those are all the thinky on topic thoughts I have today. Way too much shit.
But! At least I'm dressed so cute your eyes could puke. And it's all due to this dress. I love it. My manager who has never worn a skirt to the office since I've been here even complimented it.
Yeah, that doesn't seem right, bon.
That dress is super cute.
bon.
push back. severely. PT should be now. like as soon as the cast is off. not in a month. at most you can wait a week. can you go to an alternative facility for PT?
An overabundance of sexual appetite, spilling over from the natural objects of attraction to individuals of the same gender. And, as we all know, sexual appetite in any notable quantity is to be looked askance at.
Is that the Victorian angle? From what I've read, it seems that expressions of passion of most sorts was frowned upon in the Victorian age. Affection and enough physical attraction to procreate were accepted, but love and, god forbid, lust, were discouraged--which led to the almost desperate expression of natural impulses in clandestine ways.
I've been trying to find studies of homosexuality in pre-modern times, because I'm fascinated by the history of social ideas, and most of them do comment on how difficult it is to find contemporary commentary because attraction to the same gender was just what some people did, not something that would help define who a person was. That always struck me as somehow a little more egalitarian than the current approach by some homophobes that "those people" are unnatural. It's much simpler to ostracize "those people" rather than accept that same-sex attraction could be something on the normal scale of behavior.
So it was Freud who delineated homosexuality as a whole way of being instead of a way of acting?
Thanks for the PT feedback-- I have some exercises to do in the meantime, but hopefully my doc gets back to me soon.
bon bon,
my student broke her wrist and while she has been doing exercises, she still needs PT to manipulate her hand and wrist in ways that she cannot on her own.
you should do the exercises every day and as often as you can, but you still need external manipulation to get the full range of motion.
Definitely sooner rather than later on PT. we have not been transferred. Creeping up on 24 hours here in the ER. All of our graham crackers are gone. How do I get more?
Given the number of Presidents we have had, odds are pretty good we have had had at least one President who engaged in same sex romance.
Surely Reagan counts given how many gay men he screwed during the AIDS crisis?
Oh Kat, that is so sucky. Is K coming by to spell you or bring food?
