So I'm back to college now, and this semester we actually get to do stuff!! I have this awesome lab called occupation, adaptation, and technology I (henceforth known as OATS I) where we make splints and lots of other cool stuff. The prof is totally awesome - he's pretty much the coolest 68 year old I've ever met lol, and he's done everything! He's literally practiced in almost every area you can in OT, and he's done a crap ton of other stuff too! He's says he was able to do it because he only sleeps 5 hours a night and uses his time very wisely (damn do I feel like a lazy slacker!).
So anyway, after we talked for a little while, we got to the hands on stuff, and we got to make our first splint. It looks like this (view pics) - pretty awesome, right! This is actually thee one my partner made for my finger, but they look pretty much the same. That clumsy looking blue hand in the background was our warm up activity. Now I use it to hold my splints (well, currently only splint, but next week there'll be another one!!) So yeah, the end... ooh, I almost forgot...I got a 4/4 on it too! I love splinting!
