I usually treat vertigo. Woke up with it this morning. Gotta say, not a fan.

That's crazy. Cold and allergy medicines do funny things to my body too, especially my heart.

Probably for the best, there's a bunch of weirdos hanging out there.

If you're cool enough to be hanging out here, you're probably cool enough to check out my sneak peak of Hazardous.

Latest update. Hazardous is still incomplete. Topped 200,000 words Still going up in March. Sneak peak here:

Kinky.

There is a purple Jeep I see on my walks sometimes that has at least a dozen rubber ducks all lined up on the dashboard. I looked it up and apparently some Jeep owners due this. Your alternative sounds more fun.

Are Jeeps the cars that sometimes have a ton of rubber ducks on the dashboard?

Ways to annoy your PTA: Patient: I was so sore after PT on Wednesday that I had to take two Tylenol. (Note: Today is Wednesday) Me: So you were sore after your last session on Monday? Patient: No, it was after our session on Wednesday. Me: Last Wednesday? Patient: No, our last session...pauses as the wheels start to turn...yes, the one on Monday. * * * * * Me performing strength test. Me: Straighten this leg for me. Patient extends his knee. Me: Good. Now please bend your knee. Patient extends his leg again. Me: I want you to bend the knee, with your foot down. Patient starts to bounce foot while keeping the leg straight. Me: Okay, pull your foot back. Patient starts swinging foot back and forth. Me: Okay, just pull your foot up underneath you. This, for some reason, computes and he bends the knee. Me, going to test the other leg. Me: Okay, please straighten the leg again. Patient bends his knee. * * * * * Former patient returning to PT calls out to my coworker: "You've lost a lot of weight!" Said coworker was pregnant last time he was in. * * * * * That is all this morning. WTF is happening?

Also a Capricorn. I was looking over info once and nothing really resonated until I read about Capricorn dislikes. Dislikes: Everything, at some point.

I can see why they wouldn't crawl into someone's mouth but I can see them biting a sleeping person out of spite.

The thing about eating spiders in your sleep is a myth. I believe they would wait until I woke up so I can see them coming. The last time one came for me while I was sleeping, they perched on the lenses of my glasses and waited.

I've read that you can train yourself to lucid dream more often, but it never worked for me. I think I did it once and got so excited that I woke up before I got to try anything cool. It also makes you more prone to sleep paralysis. Which, thankfully, I have only had once or twice. I think I had claustrophobic dreams because I don't have to face it in real life that often and my brain likes to helpfully remind me if I stay away from small places, I can't get trapped in them. I think that may be why I don't dream as often about spiders, which I am occasionally forced to face when I'm awake.

It sounds like you are lucid dreaming. I had a reoccurring nightmare when I was young. I was in my room and heard my dad coming up the stairs. I could tell from the sound of his footsteps he was angry, so I hid under the bed. I would hide under the bed while he came in my room. He would find me, grab my arm and pull me out from under the bed. That's usually when I would wake up. Then one night I didn't wake up. He pulled me out from underneath the bed, dragged me to the banister of our stairs and karate chopped my arm off. I saw it falling down to our hallway below. And then I never had that dream again. Our minds are very weird. Nowadays, most of my nightmares are just about claustrophobia.

I would use it when putting on hot packs. Weather shifts can affect patients sometimes, especially those with vestibular issues, migraines, etc.

Also from the South and have never heard this. But people appear equally confused if I say "warmer than a weevil in porridge" so there you go.

Discussing exercises with a patient. Me: What gym do you go to? Patient: I go to Planet Fitness. Do you go to this gym? Me: No, I don't go to gyms. (I have a home exercise set up and can use my clinics equipment for free). Patient: Well, you really need to. Me:

Sounds like some people need PT. Should I start handing out business cards?

Go Seahawks.

Aren't you cute. Kiss my grits and go jump in a snowbank.

Honestly right now, it's not sounding that bad.

I usually wear socks because my toes are cold, lol.

I...what...???

Ways to annoy your PTA: Surprise schedule a 9:30 patient. At 9:35 When you know I'm locked in on a complex vestibular hypofuntion and BPPV and post concussion syndrome patient that I planned to spend extra time with.
