I finished my patient today. My goal was to have her done early and to pass off a PE if I could. I only had 2 more quads left to do. I did finish a little bit early and passed off 2 PE's. Sweet!
I worked really hard to fix my grasp today. Last clinic Instructor Hafen noticed that I hold my instrument wrong! What a disaster! I am holding it with my middle finger instead of my pointer finger. When I concentrate and use the right fingers it feels kind of awkward, but I can see the benefits of it. I will continue to work on that.
Another problem that I have is finding where to put my fulcrum to get a good solid base so that I can use some real hard lateral pressure. I don't quite have that figured out yet.
My major problem is my slowness... and I will continue to work on that too!
All in all, I felt good about my appointment today. She told me that she felt that I did a good job, which makes me feel way good!!
Next appt I have I will continue to work on grasp, speed, and fulcrum. SPEED SPEED SPEED!!!
