I hope you’re wrong.

It stinks that I’m afraid you’ll be right.

Andy!!! Have you heard… I’m writing a book and it’s called β€œIt Depends.” Hoping to finish by summer time.

And yes- I do think it depends, but I also think I tend to lean more one way than the other!

This. Is. Amazing.

More of this!

In a short moment of looking away from the news… I’m learning a bit about photography and wanted to take a poll. When you filter your photos, do you tend to lean towards warm? Or cold?

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis.

In 1933.

I’m writing a book in 2025! I’ve been sharing a bit about starting the process on Instagram… but will also post some progress here! Lots of healthcare related queries where the answer is β€œit depends” alongside stories from my career. Yay!

And the volcano summit is very cool. Didn’t go at sunrise or sunset- the drive would have been scary in the dark!!!

No CSM this year for me… but we’re way overdue for a meetup and maybe 2026 will be in the cards. Have a great time!

Pediatric hand XRAYS always look funny to me… huge space between bones and a little older the growth plates make it look like there are a lot more bones. Fascinating.

A 🧡. Back in early 2022, the editorial staff of the Cardiopulmonar Physical Therapy Journal approved the development of a Special Issue on Long Covid, and against all better judgement, I was selected to be its Guest Editor. The Special Issue published today. Here are the contents.

10 years into clinical practice and now seeing my first vascular thoracic outlet syndrome patient. SO different from neuro TOS which I’ve seen 3x. Wow! I hope conservative care helps. So glad I reviewed the brachial plexus and vasculature of the upper extremity this month.

Maybe the two of them are wherever people go when they’re no longer with us having a good time and watching UConn WBB!

Anybody else throw a fist pump of excitement when they go to donate blood and have high enough iron levels?! Just me?! 13.7 and so proud.

Today marks 4 years without my dad. Proof that my heart still is beating despite being broken. Grief sucks. Donate blood if you can.

This holiday season, I’m praying for iontophoresis and ultrasound to be removed from the PT licensing exam and for any content about Long Covid, POTS, chronic pain, or chronic illness to replace it. It’s time.

Had a little kiddo doing this exercise in the clinic today for the first time. When they got to the top position, they yelled out:

β€œWoah, my armpits!”

πŸ’ͺ🏻

(This is not my patient…)

How fortunate am I to know this many published authors?! Any hints or pointers you want to share, I'm all ears. And if I missed anyone, please join the fun and let me know so I can share your book. It is holiday season and there's still time for last minute book orders!
