"Cheetah Feet"

So being in Physical Therapy school, we learn about a lot of really cool things. Technology has come so far and even given people without part of their limbs are still participate in athletics. I think this is absolutely awesome! I was lucky enough to spend the day at a Orthotics/Prosthetic clinic on a one day shadowing and actually got to see people being fitted for their artificial limb. What made me want to even blog about this?? Well today in the water while snorkeling, Lisa and Olga swear they saw a shark...I reassured them that losing a limb wouldn't be that bad after all thanks to things like "Cheetah feet"! Of coarse we all would rather keep our own body intact, but at least there are so many options for those who have experienced an unfortunate event. I love PT school and learning about all these cool things. I can't wait to one day help people live with their disabilities/impairments/functional limitations!
