The title bar isn't working so this one is called DENVER:

I wrote an outline so I wouldn't forget stuff, but some of it is really only funny if you were there. That in mind, I will try to filter.

Wednesday Night
- Sarah Bosley and I were delayed in the airport. But I can't complain, other students were delayed for much longer than we were. I didn't get sick on the plane thanks to Bonine.

Thursday Morning (early)
- Met up with Bo in the airport...he was supposed to get in 5 hours before but had just arrived. We felt better about our situation. Grabbed a cab to a 2nd yr student's apt, Lisa. She is in Denver on a full-time clinical. After talking for a little bit, we got to bed realizing that it was 3:30am, 5:30am EST...I felt like I should have been waking up.

Everything reversed at 6:30am when I felt like I should be going back to bed, but Sarah and I were determined not to miss conference due to weakness. Good thing too... the first session we went to was on special tests of the shoulder by Eric J. Hegedus, PT, DPT, OCS from Duke. The lecture was fantastic and someday I hope to put it up on this blog - but in short, he reviewed the tests' specificity and sensitivity and their likelihood ratios - concluding the most effective tests to rule in or out each possible diagnosis at the shoulder. The second one was on athletes with amputations, retraining running, and resources for those athletes.

Ok I am too tired to go on... the best parts are coming up though, so stay tuned.

For some reason my most recent post did not get posted... that might be a good thing because it was a little negative - ok, very negative. I was down about classes and such so I went off on a stream of consciousness about why I didn't like each one. But it isn't that bad. Some classes area a little silly in that, they might be good but I could get all the info from reading a book. One class is pretty bad because it basically repeats all the ther-ex we have learned over the last 2 years. The rest are good. I love my sports class and diagnostic screening. They are our last classes though so I really shouldn't complain. I need to savor the last moments I have as an Entry-Level DPT student.

We are supposed to find out about our clinic assignments soon... which means we'll be making money soon! That is not a bad deal is it, making money as a student? Woohoo!
