The DU Lounge

I generally go to people's homes that need help with meal prep, showering and dressing assistance, bathroom assistance, sometimes light housekeeping, reminding them to take they're medications on the daily. I have done and encouraged assigned physical therapy with my clients as well. Each individual has individual needs.


Sometimes when I have a client that falls, I'll go to the rehab center where they are. I'll get them out of their rooms and spend time with them so that they have that interaction. This particular 84 year old client fell on a day that I wasn't assigned to work and they had been picking up the neighbors newspapers off the sidewalk and throwing them on the porch. And that's when the accident happened.


I went to the physical therapy gym with my client last Monday as well. I was sitting there watching all the interactions with the many physical therapists and the many rehabilitation patients. I feel like that I missed my calling, I should have went to school to be a physical therapist.

I've been reading your posts. I can't remember if I said anything or not but I'm so glad to know that you're on the mend, zanana1!
