Barbie is a Physical Therapist? Part 2

Ok, so last week I posted that one of the PT's at the place I go is a Barbie look-a-like. I had another appointment this Monday and Barbie was working with an elderly lady that had hurt her arm in a fall.

I have to admit I was very impressed by Barbie who's real name is Sunny. She was talking with the woman while she worked out, and she was telling her how she is a Doctoral Student at a local Medical University in Clinical Studies. She also is an instructor at the Medical University and she teaches Grad Students. As I ease dropped on the conversation. She knew her stuff.

I admired her knowledge and felt a bad for calling her a Barbie last week. I don't like it when people judge me because I am a big girl, I'm sure she doesn't like it when people think she is a Barbie Doll.

So this is saying Sorry to Barbie.

I have also decided that PT stands for Physical Torture. The step climbing, tread mill, bike and stretches are all good. But the exercises that are weird sometimes hurt. There is one where you lay on your side, keep your ankles together and butterfly your knees. Not only is it humiliating it hurts your hips a little. Then there is the one where you sit on a stool with wheels and drag yourself around in circles doing laps in the office with one foot. Hurts you heel. Oh well better than surgery.
