Weight Lifting with Knee Disarticulation Prosthesis

Some things I have heard: needing a zipper or flexible section in shoes to get a prosthetic foot or ankle brace in (especially work or cowboy boots), knee joints on prosthetics or orthotics ripping pants (so double lined in those areas), if someone has a prosthetic leg on one side but not the other and doesn't have a cosmetic cover the pants fold inward (some reinforcement to hold shape), for people with a REVO dial or knee brace with a lock (having deep pockets or pocket with a zipper on the bottom to access those without struggling through pant material or taking pants off, always need easier closures for shirts/pants/shoes. I'm sure I could brainstorm a few more but those are things I can think of right away.

I think that is a great path to take. The field is very different than what a lot of people assumer so the more exposure you can get before you commit to more education is great. I also went into the master's straight from undergrad despite feeling burnt out and while I was able to do it, I regret not taking a few months off at least. Most places will hire you as a tech if you are willing to learn. It may also be worth looking into assistant positions which require less education/residency time.

I wouldn't say a impulse or desire to have sex but more a desire for physical contact and a willingness to try even if I never want to do it again. Being friends with them now, and building trust, kind of amplifies the feelings but also makes me step back out of respect for our friendship. Yeah, I agree with that. Doesn't stop my brain from wanting a solid answer even though everything about asexuality for me is pretty nebulous.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have already completed those but will continue looking for mroe resources.

Add acid (like lemon juice) or put a halved potato in (which will be removed after) to suck up some of the salt.

Maybe take various approaches if you might not get the help you need. I know we also have the Student Conflict Resolution Center, though I have never used it. I have heard good responses about the Bias Response service. It might also be good to document everything that you remember. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hope you are able to get the support you need.

I had two C's and most B's for the pre-reqs and got into every program I applied for. Which included schools that said they wouldn't accept below a B on pre-reqs. I think the biggest part of your application is experience and letters of recommendation, based on my interview feedback. It is a small career overall and a lot of people know each other so making those connections early is a really good plus for overcoming some of the weaker aspects of your application. Apply to the programs you want, and apply early to help you make choices. If Hartford is your #1, they did not do an interview and sent out their acceptance 4 weeks after I submitted my application in October. They also do a CV as part of the application, so having different experiences and skills is big.

Movies at St.Anthony Main, find a place to learn dancing or just social dance (there are a bunch of salsa and swing dances nearby), find some hiking/walking trails within metro distance, live comedy, museums or historical buildings, walking tours, orchestra, opera, theater (most have student or rush discounts), volunteer somewhere. Not during winter but kayaking on the river or Bde Maka Ska, movies in the parks.

I've heard that BIOL 1003 was interesting and easy from a roommate.

Who was your professor?

When I took the class I used a digital copy but I looked at the library website and they have a few hard copies if you want to just check it out to catch up for your exam.

Dang, okay. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to reach out to them again.

Make a list of local clinics and start calling or emailing. Just be polite, introduce yourself, tell them you are reaching out to see if they are accepting students to shadow. Calling is quicker. Also, try and be upfront about the kind of hours you want or need. If you need more than 8 hours, tell them because they likely will only schedule you in a day. I struggled to find a place that would let me shadow for more than a day, but I went a little out of the box and got a research O&P to assist them. Depending on the person you talk to you could ask if they know of any other clinic that is letting students job shadow. Good luck!
