Okay!  I know!  I've not posted anything for agggggggggggges

 

Well, thats because everything has changed!  I no longer work at the hospital (well I do every now and again) and I've gone back to university to a degree in physiotherapy!!  I'm over half way through my first year of the 3 year course!

 

Flying? - on hold for now, but hoping to do another flight out of netherthorpe this summer, the plan is to get a 4 seater again and sell the free seats to my mates to help me cover the costs AND have ppl to take cool pics while we;re flying!

 

So physio.... well I can do massage, cryotherapy, TENS and interferential therapy now and if this week goes to plan I can add ultrasound and pulsed eletromagnetic energy therapy to the list as well!  They are big and cool sounding words.  Basically its different ways of treating tissue damage wth big posh machines!  If you wanna know more checkout a very cool website: www.electrotherapy.org :) )the site all my therapy notes are made from lol)

 

So I fell really lucky with this course, landed in the best group of the entire year! (yea group D rules!!)  Made some great new friends!  We have climbers, figure skaters, rugby players, footballers, ice hockey players and me (my cool thing is I piloted a plane lol.. twice!!) .  A few of us went ice skating last week - pics online in the album! - and our figure skater taught me how to do it better.  And I even survived over an hour of skating without breaking any bones w00t w00t, although we did see someone else break their leg, that looked painfull and made us think twice about how good an idea it was for us to be doing it lol... but it was a great day.   We have plans for a climbing day, going to watch a ice hockey game together and we;re even thinking of taking a trip to the ski village as well!  All of these will be very cool if we can manage to organise them!

 

What else do i need to mention.... hmmm

 

I'm still following manned space flight, sts-119 launches this week to add the last solar array section to the space station, I'm thinking if its a good idea or not to stay up till 3am to see it launch on thursday morning.... I have practicals 11-6 the next day...  I'm also hoping to study a bit of space medicine as part of my physio degree, looking at how physio can help astronauts on long term space flights with things like muscle and bone loss.  If I get my way my discertation will be on this topic!

 

So yeah, any questions? post below
