I got a text today:

Het lijkt ons erg leuk als je bij ons komt wonen

We would love for you to come live with us

I’ve been busy lately and after a late night last Friday I had to pay the price. So now I’m sniffling a little with a head that feels heavy. The weekend was great though, because I had my first taste of acrobatics again.

If you are unable to use one side of your body it’s sometimes nice to do stuff on your knees. Especially if it’s acrobatics.

Due to my temporary mobility problem I decided to spend time re-doing the PHYSIQUE website. The new site is online and can be viewed on http://www.physique.nl/. The old site looked like this.

Finally and most importantly I decided that living all alone in the south of Nijmegen doesn’t work for me. Today I was invited to have dinner with people that wanted to see if I could join their house. It’s a group of people owning five houses and everybody who joins becomes a owner. I’d be living together with 4 other people and having a communal living room, kitchen, a shower and a bedroom by myself of about 20m2. There is a big garden. It would be nice to live close to the center without having the stress of buying a house and having the benefit of other people around me. Let’s see if I’m accepted.

In the Netherlands a physiotherapist is required to register. Once you’re registered you are required to update your skills. Every year you need to earn a certain amount of points. Health insurance companies will only allow their clients to see registered physiotherapists. Apart from some minor courses I took at OCA I haven’t been updating my skills.

Time for a big investment. I’m thinking of doing a masters of physiotherapy. And I’m thinking of doing it with a specialty in psychosomatic physiotherapy.

Psychosomatische Fysiotherapie benadert het bewegend functioneren vanuit de complexe relatie tussen somatische, psychische en sociale factoren. De psychosomatisch werkend fysiotherapeut wordt opgeleid tot een specialist op het gebied van psychosociale factoren. Hij biedt zorg bij hoogcomplexe problematiek ten aanzien van het bewegend functioneren waarbij de zelfregulatie van de klant sterk verminderd is. Hierbij spelen vaak persoonlijkheid, copingstijl, motivatie, stemmingstoornissen, angststoornissen, somatisatie, somatoforme stoornissen en de sociale omgeving een belangrijke rol. Dit gaat vaak gepaard met een hoog ziekteverzuim en/of disfunctioneren in de arbeidssituatie of het sociale leven. hu.nl

Psychosomatic physiotherapy approaches the moving body and its functioning from the complex relation between somatic, psychological, and social factors. The physiotherapist who wants to work with a psychosomatic approach will be trained to become a specialist on the area of psychosocial factors. His area of expertise involves clients with a diminished capability of self regulation who have highly complex issues regarding movement within a functional context. Key contributors are; personality, coping style, motivation, affective disorders, anxiety disorders, somatisation, somatoformic disorders and social surrounding. These issues will usually coexist with absence through illness and/or disfunctioning in a working environment or social life. hu.nl

I’m thinking of the “Hogeschool Utrecht“, because otherwise I’d have to go to Bergen in Norway. This is of course a no go seeing as a sister of mine already went to Norway and I’d don’t actually like going abroad.

Some stats:

• the master study will take three years
• study load will be 20 hours a week
  
• cost of the entire study will be €12.000,-
• every Friday I’ll have to go to Utrecht

@%$^$!^%#$ Two weeks ago I had a check up on my ankle. I was told there’d be no waiting list and so the screws in my right ankle would be removed after 6 weeks. Today I found out there is a waiting list. Apparently the first opportunity is on the 2nd of April. That’s still a month to go! That means I will not be able to put pressure on my right foot for another month. This is so not going to happen.

There is probably somebody out there who has one of the above.

Who looks like a ghost with his super computer?

It’s superTomas.

Seems like he’s copying behaviour. I don’t know where he got it from.

I have cycled 15 minutes today after our sport physician told me I could do this. Boring, but extremely satisfying. Now my right ankle is very relaxed.

Back in Nijmegen so I started my beloved D&D again. Friends were rather disappointed when they discovered I did not have cast. It did not stop Vincent though…

Yes. A slightly not so social surgeon let me wait for almost an hour. It took her subsequently 2 minutes to see my leg was doing fine. It took another 8 minutes to tell me the screws were probably being removed in 4 weeks time under a local anesthetic and tell me everything I needed to know about the procedure.

So now I’m staying with ‘][‘ in Nijmegen. It’s really nice to be back again.

And so everybody knows when I get back to Nijmegen.

I’ve got a beard.

What happens when Merijn calls and he listens to the newest carnaval song? He’s so happy.
