I had a psych class with a curve based on the profâs pet formula, the lowest A being 95% of the top score. But she had a caveat that it could not be required to be higher than 90.
So I kind of lucked out. She had called me out about attendance twice already. I explained I meant no disrespect - I only skipped if offered extra shifts at work, and badly needed the momey. The next time she asked me to talk after class I thought she was going to lay down the law, but instead it was about the curve - she said that âethicallyâ she needed my consent to remove me from it.
I traded consent for a pass on my future attendance.
Silly the things that stick with you, decades later.

That reminds me - I have 2 friends on medicare who recently had joints (1 a knee, the other a hip) replaced, whose entire course of PT following discharge was following videos from home.
I had no idea this was going on. I worry a lot about compliance in such situations, although both of my friends did fine.
Compliance is one issue, maintaining proper form is another.

Good point. âYou canât see yourself walkâ, as one of my PTs told me. His point being that the gait I kept falling back into - the way I was favoring the ankle - was going to screw up my hip.
And I need constant reminding that I am letting my shoulder creep up.
My knee and hip have been major problems for a couple of years. My Orthopedist gives me gel injections in the knee to stave off replacement (so far, so good) & had me in PT for most of this past year. All good and covered by Medicare and my secondary insurance. About 6 weeks ago I had my hip replaced. It went great and, after a couple of weeks, I had to remind myself that it had ever been a problem. No more limp, no more pain.
Now for the relevant part (finally). Although my PT before the replacement was a no-brainer, after the hip was replaced they gave me a set of graduated exercises to do at home & included access to on line videos, etc if I needed/wanted them. Iâll go back to PT for my knee by the end of the summer, but it really wasnât needed for the hip replacement.

Happy outcome! Yay.
Bahaha. Almost posted that very same strip in the funnies thread.
Good to hear, thanks for the additional info.
Every doctor/dentist appointment ever.
Boy, that one was right on target.
Well, itâs cooked, so I guess itâs like eating canned corn, except you donât need a spoon. Iâm not sure how youâd heat it. Maybe itâs the corn equivalent of a cold piece of leftover pizza. Thereâs a time and a place for everything, so they say.
Maybe one is supposed to nuke it? Since itâs already been cooked to death it probz wouldnât matter at this point.
Sadly â or would that be luckily? â I will never find out.

Itâs hard to tell but looking at it, I was going back and forth between cooked to death or just the heavy vacuum compressing it. (Or both, I guess).
Iâd try it just for the heck of it.

Momâs adventures have introduced me to two new positively hilarious euphemisms.
In the paperwork for transferring her to memory care, they emphasize the âlocked wardâ aspects as preventing âelopementâ, that is, a patient wandering out of the facility and down the street. Mom was caught a number of times out in the parking lot looking for her car.
For her burial arrangements, the papers specifying the grave opening and closing charges, specifying plot, etc were labeled as the âInstallment Agreementâ, which I thought was terribly amusing, as it referred to both the available payment plan as well the, er, installment of your relative into their spot.
Find the funny where you can, I guess

Germans, world-famous for their smashing sense of humor, have a saying âHumor ist, wenn man trotzdem lacht.â
Your closing line reminded me of it, but literally translated it means â[having a sense of] humor means you can laugh about it [all].â
Humor can save lives, but definitely oneâs sanity.
