I do Manual Lymphatic Drainage as my “speciality” within older adult occupational therapy and it’s super rewarding to see their skin get so much better and back to normal (advanced stages of lymphedema can result in almost scaly sunburnt looking limbs) and see them get back movement… Read More

If I remember correctly there are a lot of amputations in the book. I think a chapter opens with making some comment about leaning to type without a thumb or something like that- makes you do a double take when you process it

Care homes don’t really have a choice due to rules and regulations as well as families all too happy to go after staff if they feel their parent should have been sent out. Plus if you are medically complex or need enough assistance to be in a care home you are probably someone who… Read More

We decided to start trying in summer of 2018 and had my paragard removed. Within 2 cycles I was pregnant. I suspected early on but didn’t actually get a positive home test till what would have been the 7 week mark. Unfortunately I miscarried by the end of the week. We took a recommended… Read More

Izzy- it really is that shallow! 6 inches would cover the majority of peoples ankles and that’s one of the major joints we use to maintain balance. If you can’t get your feet under you then you aren’t getting up. Similarly 2 feet would cover enough of your tires to compromise traction… Read More
