Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

1. Medical Stuff:

  • No doctors. Lots of rest, ice, and heat for my back.
  • 1 Day of Home Rehab.
  • Taking a break from PT for the summer to see how I do. I better be able to start getting more home rehab in asap. We are experimenting.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • This was a struggle week with my ribs and pain. I got into the doctor as an “emergency” on Friday because I was in so much pain from my ribs being subluxed. After a lot of manipulation, 4 trigger point injections, ear acupuncture, and having to do a colon cleanse because my gastroparesis had flared, it was decided it was best I rest for the weekend. This meant no Life as a Zebra Foundation, “Team Zebra” 5k the next day…I cried and then moved on into acceptance mode. I knew in my heart that this was an instance when I needed to listen to the docs who were trying to help me!

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I had my monthly appointment with Larry. He worked a LOT of my ribs, and also did cranial work. That man has magical hands!
  • I’ve been ordered to rest…Something very difficult for me, but I know it’s necessary. Wish me luck.
