ninevirtuesO&P Test Result: 94% (that's before salutary effect of bonus questions is considered). Ooooooooooyeah!
Next up: Haircut, 11AM.
After that: O&P Practical, 2:50 PM ET. This is a pass/fail practical; we will meet a bilateral transtibial amputee (translation: The nice man is missing both legs below the knee), inspect one residual limb* using the appropriate criteria, then correctly teach him to wrap the said limb to facilitate shrinkage and shaping of the limb.
*Stumps are for trees. Call it a residual limb. On that note, should you need to prescribe an electrically powered wheelchair for someone in NC, do not call it an "electric chair". (The major cause of amputations is...? Diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that what economic class gets....? Working class and very poor, that's right. "Electric chair" has a specific and very bad meaning to that population. Call it a "power chair".)
Then: Lift weights, load car, buy ingredients to make fabulous dinner, go to Apex, make the said dinner, attempt to make chocolate souffle', flirt with the boy and eat the dinner; ride trainer 90 minutes, and... after that, well, we've reached the part of the narrative where I smile sweetly and end the story.
