Things I communicate with Part I: Writing. I give out lots of exercise handouts each week, and I add specific things on each as needed. The magnets are to keep track of who has which patient.
Things I communicate with Part II: Visual/Verbal, Hearing Aids (yes mine.... sadly enough), Vocera, kind of like a Star Trek Communicator Pin, with less reliable and shorter range. Oh and my badge, which tells people who I am and why I am there.
The controller of the CPM (Continuous Passive Motion) Machine that we use. Have these in hand all day long.
Goniometer, use these to measure range of motion frequently as well. Pretty much every PT in the world has one close to hand.
My computer, and the mouse I hate, I would rather use a trackball, but haven't figured out how to get work to pay for one. Not just going to pay to buy my own.
And the one thing I use the most, hand sanitizer, going in, going out, if I sneeze, just because. Keeps my skin nice actually, I feel the difference on the days I don't use it.
So.... stuff I use every day. When I am old and grey, and can't remember anything, maybe this will bring me back a smile of remembrance. Just like the smell of Crayons, Construction Paper and Elmers Glue takes me back to 3rd grade.

I really, really, liked this post! I also would love to get my hands on some avagard....
Been following your blog for awhile now...silently... But I think it's time I speak up. Yes, I appreciate the photos and the cool shots you capture, but the one thing that keeps me interested and coming back for more are the stories you post with them. Simple...not too much, not too little... Well Done! Keep up the good work!!

Gary,
Thanks for commenting! I am glad that my meanderings in some way entertain people. I sometimes wonder if anybody outside of my family even really cares or looks. I appreciate your coming and looking, and I promise to keep it as interesting as I can!
