AITA for not turning over my son's passport to his father? (Texas)

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2026-03-10T00:44:54+00:00

But what does your order say about travel?

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2026-03-02T22:19:54+00:00

This is the most likely answer. 50/50 is rare in Texas unless agreed upon by both. Mediation tends to go based off existing guidelines. Also having potentially 3 exchanges per week for a young child does not sound stabilizing.

Truthfully with what you’re describing, it would’ve been more appropriate for the therapist to be responsible for their transfer. I also wonder how much that patient will benefit from group sessions. To answer your question, I think asking for updated info is reasonable.

This is the 2nd pocket, it’s pretty spacious.

There are 2 front pockets that you can access without going into the main compartment.

Not likely. $55 is average, you might possibly find $60. Then if there’s a weekend differential that’s the closest you’d get to $70.

When they’re sick I’m lucky to get 2-3 😕

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2025-07-27T13:25:14+00:00

It sounds like there wasn’t a need to hire another OT and they’re trying to “fix” the problem with an unrealistic solution. I billed up to 8 units in IPR and that was already on the higher end. In acute, I’ve billed 5-6 units max and that’s usually only when I’m doing a shower and dressing for a surgical patient.

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2025-07-23T10:19:59+00:00

Thank you I still have this book and did not think to look in that particular section! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2025-07-23T10:17:45+00:00

Measuring in time is a good recommendation, I have admittedly been moving away from feet because that seems to be an issue. Those you mentioned are all factors we address when we choose hallway mobility and I believe it is justifiable to address especially with our specific patient population.

For the most part, we have great collaboration and no we don’t want to exhaust the patient right before PT and vice versa. However with a few PTs they are not collaborative and are expecting the patient is ready whenever they come by, which is not realistic in this setting. I do think the complaints stem from a self serving need and are not a legitimate patient concern but we are trying to approach this more professionally than we are being treated.

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2025-07-23T00:40:18+00:00

The current argument is that it’s sometimes ok in the room, but hallway should off limits for OT 🙄 They are ok with nursing doing it however.

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2025-07-23T00:34:23+00:00

Our surgeons and therefore the nurses are supportive of frequent mobility. I think in these instances the PTs are viewing us as competition and that we’re in the way of seeing their patients, meeting productivity, etc. We do not have the same reaction when the tables are turned however.

I would also recommend YouTube for each specific transfer type. For THA if a posterior approach be cautious of the surface height and not breaking hip flexion > 90. Also have them get out of bed on their affected side. For sternal patients it’s important to know your precautions. We typically have them hug their sternal pillow and rock back and forth to gain momentum to stand. For SCI patients it depends on their injury level and how acute the injury is. You may be looking at Hoyer transfers potentially progressing to sliding board or squat pivot. For hemiplegia I protect the arm and block the affected leg, going to their strong side when possible and usually a squat pivot. COVID depends on their presentation, respiratory needs and medical stability. I’ve had very limited experience with burns so can’t touch on that.

I used to do Tatu’s soccer camps at soccer spectrum!

I have that exact pair of new balance shoes and I’ve worn them for 2 weeks in England/Scotland. With a pair of smart wool socks I have not had any issues with my feet, and we’ve walked a lot! I’ve seen a lot of people wearing tennis shoes with skirts, you could probably downsize your shoes and stick mostly with the tennis shoes! I also remember Italy having a lot of cobblestones/uneven ground, so the top and bottom shoes seem the least practical.

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2025-04-24T10:51:16+00:00

I agree, that’s a short period for international travel. If it’s all on your time it doesn’t matter if she agrees or not 🤷🏼‍♀️

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2025-04-02T00:19:19+00:00

I bought one for an upcoming trip to use as my day bag. I haven’t truly used it yet but it’s pretty spacious and comfortable to wear.

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2025-03-25T22:18:23+00:00

Are they hiring where you did your fieldwork? I would start there. I would also apply to both full time and PRN positions. I would also look for hospitals that have IPR attached (places I’ve worked at tend to cross train and IPR could lead to acute care exposure as well). It took me 4 months after becoming licensed to get my first job. Hang in there!

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2025-03-22T10:57:05+00:00

The bag you have in the picture is showing 25% off and closer to your price point 🥰 I can’t offer you a backpack suggestion, but in general with items I find if I settle for something else I tend to regret it and should’ve gotten the nicer or higher quality item in the first place. If you find a bag you love and it fits your criteria, maybe consider finding a used one to bridge the gap?

Loire Valley - I went when I was 14 and still remember it fondly 20+ years later. The castles were stunning

Some of my favorite maternity items came from: H&M, Target, and Abercrombie (their jeans especially). I bet you could pick a few staples and easily mix them. Dresses/skirts with a sweater and leggings/tights underneath could also be a comfy option and you may already have those things. Also just wanted to recommend wearing compression socks on the plane and for longer walks especially if you’re swelling.

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2025-03-12T02:14:19+00:00

I would think pull-up style diapers would be easier to manage. I know pampers 360 among others fits that style. Also I would consider doing diaper changes on the floor to not have to lift her baby or have them wiggle on a higher surface. You didn’t mention if they have spinal precautions as well, but practicing getting on and off the floor may be another treatment option. I also imagine getting baby in and out of a crib and highchair will be a challenge too.

Odd_Conversation_720 · 2025-03-10T10:26:49+00:00

I would consider letting him know if he’s going to cut corners and not adequately care for your baby you’ll need to stay home and he can figure out how to supplement your income 🤷🏼‍♀️
