But every day is completely different, and every hour is completely different. Yes, there are some crazy people out there, but I take that as somewhat of a challenge to try to get them better. And the reward to see someone that couldn't walk at first walk out of the clinic is a great experience.
I love what i do and wouldn't change it for the world.

When I was in physical therapy (torn labrum due to dislocation) that is a job that I thought seemed like a blast. Helping people and playing games all day. Laid back atmosphere and the job changed from one half hour to the next. I can see falling in love with that job for sure.

And thanks for helping us heal, too. I spent 6 months in PT for my shoulder and last weekend I went rafting down the Hiwassee River with almost no pain

That is exactly why I love my job. I get to have fun and think of different things to do with people to get them better.
Now don't get me wrong, dealing with the insurance companies SUCK!!!! They don't let me do what I need to do a lot of the time, but I still try to have fun and do everything that I can do to keep people happy.

My therapist and I talked about cigars on a pretty regular basis. Come to think of it - I still owe him one. I may just drop by one afternoon and give him one
