Occupational therapy students learn about splinting...from the infamous Julie

One of the girls in the OT class below us has hurt her wrist, and needs a nocturnal resting hand splint. Guess what! My OT class knows how to make those!  When I was looking through my pictures trying to find a picture of Neal, since my search function in Windows Explorer KEEPS HAVING AN ERROR AUGH, I found this picture of us trying to draw out splint patterns....(you draw them on paper towels based on a person's individual anatomy, then you trace them bigger onto this material, then you dip it into warm water baths so you can cut it and mold it...)
