IAAC Day 36- Back to Work

Good Day Guys

I'm coming back from a 5-day vacation and coming from an exam. At around 12 am, we were busy playing with my cousins and brother. After our online session. We tried experimenting with my brother. I bought GTA V to play online. I thought we could play together but I had to finish the prologue and the tutorial online. I didn't notice the time and I took really long. I slept at around 2:30 am already.

I woke up and I was still in denial that I have work already. Because I was sleep-deprived, my actions were really sluggish. I received a text message from one of my colleagues and she asked me if she could carpool with me going to work and I said yes. After that, I got ready for work and finished my blog before leaving the house.

On my way to work, I picked up my colleague. I was scared because I left the house later than usual and I thought we were going to be late, but the traffic was just smooth. When I was about to park, there were a lot of people lined up blocking that gate. My colleague opened the gate and the people moved so I was able to park the car. We then rushed to time in. We were on time when we timed in. After that, we walked to our department. And I was just talking with my other colleagues.

As I was waiting for the doctor's endorsements, I was also checking the charts of my patients. My colleague in the IPD is also taking her to leave so I'm alone during the treatment. The doctor came and endorsed all our patients to me. I only had 2 patients and one was about to go home.

I then got ready for work and I was really slow like thinking about what to do. My body and mind weren't ready for work again ahaha. I then got ready and fixed all the equipment needed and donned my PPE's. I climbed the stairs to the fourth floor which is something that I didn't miss, then went to the patient 1 room. This patient suffered from a Bell's Palsy, wherein half of her face is Non to Weak Functional. She has difficulty in smiling, closing her eyes, eating, and many more. I started treating her by using Infrared radiation to heat up her face and after that, The electrical stimulator stimulates her muscles to move again. I also taught her some Home exercises that she can do in front of the mirror.

After finishing patient 1, I headed to patient 2 and she is a stroke patient. When I got there, my other colleagues the Occupational Therapists were there feeding the patient. I was just observing them and fixing the electrodes while waiting. After they were done, it was my turn. I used the Electrical stimulator first on her weak muscles and then made her short sit. I'm glad that she was independent while sitting on the bed. I always liked patients who are like this, the patients who help themselves. She got tired after 8 minutes so I placed her back on her bed. We also did some exercises, her main problem is her right upper extremity because she couldn't move it, her right leg was also weak but she has a little strength to move it in some motions.

I then went down to our department, disinfected, did the notes, and charged. Before eating lunch I was just speaking with one of my colleagues about anime and basketball. I then ate lunch. After lunch, I had to look for a chart of one of our old patients. I'm kinda close with her, she was the one who gave me glasses for free. It was really nice seeing her.

It was my first time bringing my laptop to work and I tried using it, I thought I could be very productive with it but the problem was how slow the internet was. Though I had fun using it to surf and reply to some comments. I also helped with the linen by bringing up the soiled towels and getting new ones. After that, I continued surfing the internet and just waiting for it to hit 5 pm. I thought we were going to get swabbed but the people in the triage moved it to the next day in the morning.

The weather was also nice and it wasn't too hot. I then got home.

When I got home, I helped my cousin who couldn't install epicgames to get GTA V. I had to control his laptop and I used Anydesk. That app was really handy and we were able to solve the problem. After that, we played warzone. I really missed gaming so much after all the reviewing. We then ate dinner and we continued playing with my brother. It was a really fun day. I hope your day was also great!
