Back to the Lab

Today's dissection was the medial compartment of the thigh, the adductor muscles, the inner thigh, the muscles that pull your leg to midline of the body...you know those machines at the gym that you sit on and squeeze your knees together???? THOSE are your adductors, they are pictured below...the thigh is fascinating to me and the parts that I am really thankful for the review of is where all the nerves run. The kids are awesome and smart and funny and prepared and ask GREAT questions...LOVING THIS!

Yesterday was PT, my arm IS moving better (he made me admit) and he reminded me to be patient and just keep working and being positive about what I CAN do that I couldn't do before...I love how he uses lines on me that I have used on my patients...I get to start pushing some weights...1lb in side lying external rotation...I have 3 exercises with theraband, the second wimpiest band...not bad and I do feel it...I got into the pool both yesterday and today, it feels really good to be able to move my arm effortlessly overhead (buoyancy of the pool is FANTASTIC) and the added bonus is that the chlorine is drying up the final vestiges of my axilla (armpit) heat rash. :)

That's all I got today, sweet dreams!
