Busy Week

Wow. Thats all I can say about the last week and a half! Here is a shortened version of my last couple days!
1. Had an AWESOME clinical in Washington. The therapist let me do so much and she trusted me to take her patients and do their rehab by myself. It was just a confidence booster to be able to do this and know that I could! I learned a lot in the 40 + hours I spent at Puyallup Valley Physical Therapy!
2. I came back to Iowa and the same HOUR I arrived I had to switch apartments. The two apartments are in the same house.. but it was just a big mix up and a long story .. but I had to move. Nothing was really packed and I really did not want to move.. but there were people waiting on me to move out so I could move in. So Alex got some of his guy friends and the all helped move me... needless to say my apt. is really messy and unorganized still, but it is actually a nicer apt. I moved into and cheaper!
3. I have had no time to unpack because I started school on Monday. I could already tell this is going to be a hard semester, but I think I can make it through. I don't know if I will be able to get my 4.0 GPA but I will try ;)
4. I also work a bunch still too! It's the best feeling when the residents still remember me and ask me how my vacation was and tell me they missed me. A lot of them have memory problems so it is pretty special when they remember you so that made me feel good. It is sad though.. one of my little residents has gone down hill so much since have been gone. She used to walk, but now she can't even stand. However, I am determined to get her back walking so I worked with her today and did get her to propel her own wheelchair with her feet and ( to the other CNAs surprise) got her to stand up and hold her self up. Hopefully by spending extra time with her I can get her back to where she was !
5. Diane is moving to live with me in IOWA!! I have to help find her a car here, but Alex has been so amazing helping me find her a car. Alex knows EVERYONE in town so when we went to the car dealers today they promised to help us find a good car in the price range Diane is looking in. It is just helpful to have a guy like Alex who help and goes out of their way to help. He even offered to let me drive his big truck if Diane needed to use my car for a while.. but ya... I don't think I would do well driving that big honker!

Anyways.. that's the long and short of it... hope everyone is doing well!
