Today I started at the royal talbot acute rehabilitation center, a branch of the Austin hospital. We arrived at 8 but they weren't expecting us until 9 so we got a bit of an easy start. They were also concerned about overworking us and let us leave at 3 since we started on time. Today I got to assess and treat 2 patients. Both of the patients had broken legs but they are at very different points in their treatment. One is going home Friday and the other is waiting to get out of the cast so that he can start treatment. It was fun, scary, and built my confidence a bit.
I didn't have too many after marathon aches today. Stairs were a bit tough and my feet were too swollen to fit my shoes but otherwise all good. I biked to clinic and back and went for a quick swim. I could have done more but the pool was full and I got annoyed. Tomorrow I might try running!
