A day of PT

On Monday we awoke to our first full day in Honduras.
We split up into groups and Loaded the buses. The construction crew and the PT crew got on the same bus and headed out to the construction site. After dropping the CC off we headed to the local Rehabilitation center to do a little PT.
Once we got there, the manager gave us a tour around the facility and showed us the trade training the patients recieved after the graduated from therapy. Some of the post-patients were making school desks and other were making frames for walkers etc.
Then we were lead to the PT building. Upon entering you could tell that it was a PT room. There were low mats, parallel bars, stairs and even an ultrasound machine.
We split into groups to take on the line of patients waiting and went to work. Dinah and Dennis teamed up and Jeremy, Judy and I made the other team. Each group had a translator. Since I was the one who had just come out of orthopedics I was elected the first to evaluate the patient...in walks an 18 month old little girl.
Dr. Darr I thought of you immediatly
We teamed together and got it done.
I eventually broke off from Judy and Jeremy and saw some less invasive cases to make sure everyone got to see a PT.

After we were done we all took a photo in front of the the gate with the name of the rehab clinic on it, and then loaded up to go pick up the construction crew.

BUT, the construction crew was not finished with the house so we headed back to the hotel....THEN....the entire muffler system fell off the bus.

That night at devo we learned that the locals had banded toether to help finish the house.

This day I was reminded of just how much we have here in the States. The PT clinic did not even have theraband or reflex hammers. Well, they did have A theratube untill Dinah broke it. (her patient did, just kidding)
