Wry Ramblings From A Hot Wing

Doing PT is a hospital can be soul crushing, especially in departments like neurotrauma.  I only made it a year in that environment before I left and went into outpatient.   

Doing PT isn't all bad.  Parts of it really suck, but some of it can be fun.  Just yesterday,  I had a 90 year old patient tell me I was "a jewel".  And followed that up with an explanation of how that was his highest compliment,  just to make sure I understood.  

I enjoyed PT myself even though it hurt like hell because the muscles where just so stiff but once i was convinced my arm wasn’t going to fall off it went pretty smooth and I got full range of motion back pretty quickly.

I still use some of the stuff I learned there on a daily basis just to keep it limber. (I ended up with some permanent damage but it’s manageable)

While reading this topic lately, I keep having to remember that PT doesn't mean personal trainer in this context.

It means Parent Teacher Association.

That was my first thought when I saw PTA on the title of Cassie's thread, but it quickly became apparent it was something medical, which was enough for Google to help me. When people write only PT, that's when my mind goes for personal trainer.

I don't know, twisting is always fun!

Maybe I was too hasty in deleting it and I ended up drawing attention to me being insecure, but now it's too late, sigh.

I guess Cassie can do it. But are you sure you want her as your PT?

@Davide -- my spouse has had so much physical therapy that I automatically think Physical Therapist for PT, and Physical Therapy Associate for PTA.  I have to stop sometimes and remember there are other possible acronyms.

I figured Physical Therapist as well. PTA brought to mind teachers, but I was thinking PT Appointment on that one.

@Jason Rimbaud Something unrelated to the PTA and out of curiosity.

Do you have anything vegan/ vegetarian in your restaurant? Something like these.
