CHILLY WET WEATHER FAVOURITE

So what’s on the stove today? No prize for the answer. Soup, of course. My automatic response to drizzle, cloudy skies and low, low temps. Interestingly, Afrikaans cooks don’t reach for their soup pots, they automatically get into Pancake cooking mode. They even have words to cover this weather/traditional event : pannekoek weer. Literally translated as pancake weather. They produce tons of…

Overall, my first fieldwork week was quite busy and overwhelming. I will start the first day, Monday. A full day. We had orientation and a brief introduction to the Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital. The Chief OT there, emphasised to us that there is a high turnover. The first day went fine. We were assigned two patients each because of the high turnover. I had first gone to do a few assessments on my first patient which was a burns patient. I had never had a burns patient before, so it was going to be a learning experience.

He was 41-year-old male with TBSA 35% burns-bilateral upper neck, posterior neck, right post head, and ULs. He had had debridement on the burns last week and now waiting to be ready for skin grafting. but I met him when he was in a lot of pain, and I got scared and mistaken him for having an attitude. He had just changed his dressing that morning and in a lot of EXCRUTIATING pain. I didn’t do any muscle strength and ROM assessments, I settled for an interview and balance assessments (trunk impairment and bergs balance scale). I managed to get a little bit of background information on the patient although he had a high frustration tolerance that day, he was a bit co-operative. He is a brother to his sister; he lives with her and his 1 niece and 2 nephews in KwaMashu. The patient is single and has no children but regards his sisters as his own. His education level is grade 12 and he is currently unemployed but earns the employment relief fund of R350. His previous occupation was working in retail stores packing and assisting customers. He jogs inconsistently. The balance assessments showed he had good balance. The balance session took us about 25 minutes, and he was complaining and moaning about his pain throughout the session and took a break after 13 minutes, I concluded that he has poor muscle endurance.

Later that day, I went to visit my second patient or back up patient if you will. I was able to get background information, assessed bed mobility and left. There wasn’t much time left to be with him. He is a 33-year-old male diagnosed with thoracic myelopathy from T3. I had to go research a little bit on his diagnosis because I have never heard of it before. It is a nervous system disorder that affects the spinal cord in the muddle of the spine (thoracic) which is caused by a disease, compression or tumours in the spinal cord. The symptoms are having pain in the back or neck, abnormality walking, muscle weakness, problems with coordination, rhythmic muscle spasm, stiff muscles, loss of muscle, muscle quiver, or overactive reflexes. For Sensory function, the patient may experience pins and needles, reduced sensation of touch, or uncomfortable tingling and burning. Urinary: leaking of urine or urinary retention Also common: balance disorder. (Ventak. S.R 2018) The patient’s level of education was grade 12 and he works at DSW and picks up dirt from households. The patient has a stable partner (girlfriend) and toddler children that live in Ixopo. He currently stays at Sydenham for work. The patient can not turn on the bed independently, but his upper limbs work very well. I prioritised the muscle tone, muscle strength, sensation, ROM, oedema, and balance assessments for the following day.

For my backup patient I did the sensation assessment on Wednesday using fingers to poke the patient (deep touch), cotton wool (soft touch) and a paper towel covered safety pin (pain). The Asia scale pin prick and light touch score was 46/56. The patient could feel in all dermatomes of the body but could partially feel in anterior proximal part of his LLs and plantar area of his feet. The muscle tone assessment showed that he had a score of 1 for his lower limb muscle groups but they were inconsistent and would be 0. The patient has muscle spasms. The muscle groups for upper limb scores are 0. This means they are good. The patient can do 50% of AROM in his lower limbs and his muscle strength grade for them was 3-. The muscle strength assessment was done on Thursday after the activity with the first patient.

For my first patient the assessment of sensation showed that the patient’s bandaged areas (RUL, proximal part LUL, Head) were deep touched and the patient had his eyes closed to describe what he felt. The patient was able to feel the touch on his posterior part of the proximal RUL and forearm as well as hi whole LUL. The patient could not feel in his head (which may be due to very thick bandaging). Range of motion was very limited. Range of Motion for the left upper limb was tested through stretches (shoulder-reaching for ceiling and moving it back, elbow- flexing and extending, hand-making a fist, wrist- moving it in circular motion) and was noted to not have any limited ROM. The same stretches were done for the RUL and limitation was observed. Therefore ROM was measured with the goniometers. I learned a lot of treatment methods that my supervisor taught about burns. She had taught me about using warm water to make the muscles tender so that they allow for more ROM, and she told me about scar massage. I watched YouTube videos (My favourite link below) to teach myself-ways to how I could do it. I plan to include these as warm up in my following sessions.

Thursday came (half day as well). I had organised a meal prep activity of sandwich making which did not challenge the patient at all. This activity was really bad, and my supervisor explained this to me. If I were to get a chance to redo it, I would have done a face washing activity and grooming using his affected RUL to allow for more ROM IN HIS RUL. The patient’s session would have been a little longer and since he has good standing balance, the activity would be done in standing.

Although this week was overwhelming, but I learnt to be more client centered in terms of client factors as well and not just context wise. The next intervention sessions for my second patient would start with balance as this is his biggest problem. My first patient’s would focus on ADLs that the patient is struggling to do, doing exercises on the RUL to prepare for activities and educate the patient more about the importance of educating the patient about doing exercises and massages to help heal the wounds faster. I plan to sit and analyse how I will adapt the activities, make him use his affected limb for his occupations which will be a bit tricky as the Barthel index shows that he is independent using his LUL.

ToysR(used)Up

The best toys are like unicorns. They include enough horse to seem real, but enough horn to become magical.

Amber & Andy ANKOWSKI, “Anatomy of the Perfect Toy”, PBS Parents, May 25, 2016

The abandoned doll in the yard next door is a forlorn sight. Lost toys take on a peculiar pathos similar to ghostly schools during lockdown. This child’s moppet has obviously been left during the lockdown after…

Lauretta Ngcobo

Lauretta Ngcobo was born in 1931 in Ixopo, South Africa. Ngcobo was active in the fight against apartheid, making her a target of South African security forces. She fled her native country in 1969, not returning for more than twenty years. In 1981, while she was still living in exile, Ngcobo published her first novel, Cross of Gold, the story of a mother who died while escaping South Africa and her two sons who continued the anti-apartheid struggle. In 1991, she published what is considered to be her greatest literary achievement, And They Didn’t Die. This novel focused on a rural black woman contending with the oppression of apartheid and the restricting norms of her traditional culture. Upon her return to South Africa in 1994 after the ANC came to power, Ngcobo continued writing and remained politically active.

Lauretta Ngcobo died in 2015 at the age of 84.
