So, I'm really loving Pate. The days go by pretty quickly and documentation is so much easier 
than most other places I've been. I've really enjoyed all of the patients. The staff are all really neat people and I can definitely see myself working here one 
day, although the traffic/commute is alot to deal with, but I can't complain like Maggie can lol. So yesterday, one of the feistier women I was working with in the gym started yelling, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME, GIRL!?!" As I attempted to keep from turning beet red I sat her back down on the mat (She had a CVA and has hemiparesis and was starting to lose her balance and I think she got embarrassed and tried to blame it on me, when really she would have fallen without my support). As soon and she sat, she looked over and me and said, "Rookie..." haha. So I was a little hurt of course that afternoon, but I've got to learn to not take those things 
seriously from certain patients. My CI is awesome, she's a TWU grad and was Vanessa's CI. She has a precious 5 month-old baby girl, Avery and she is also a dog lover. OMG, the first day I was there, we got to do animal therapy with a lab!!!!!! So of course I was freaking out and got to ask the handler a million questions. I spent 4 treatment sessions in the bathroom with patients today and had one pee on the 
mat during his eval and it leaked everywhere, so it's been exciting. I can't wait to tell yall more stories. Here are some photos of Pate and my desk (note my pic of yall and my learning objectives posted just as Dr. Luedtke asked lol). There is a neat walking trail (see left) with lots of differing terrain that you can see part of in the pic. Also, there are mini-ponds and fountains in the courtyard outside the entrance (see right). Then also, during our small group meeting Monday, another couple announced their pregnancy, so now 3/6 women are with child!! Very exciting, lots of baby rocking on the way! I'm loving yalls posts and I hope they keep coming!!! love, Rach
