Just a "zebra" trying my best to live life to the fullest with EDS and POTS...and loving the ride.

Five For Friday 5/4/12

Written by Katie. Posted in Ehlers-Danlos Awareness, Five For Friday

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT.  I asked Katie to kick my butt and she delivered.  Sometimes I am not sure if the Reformer is a beautiful thing or an evil thing. The jury is still out.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.  I’m happy to report that I did a much better job this week staying on top of doing my cardio and strengthening.  On to next week.
  • No doctor’s appointments!

Five For Friday 4/27/12

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of PT: 1 strengthening, 1 Graston’s.
  • I had an OMM appointment.  Usually I see my doc every other week, but it had been 5 weeks.  Immediately upon examination, her eyes got big and she could not believe how outta whack my body was.  The highlight was when she said, “Whoa! You have some party going on in your pelvis.”  Needless to say, she fixed my “party.”
  • No home rehab.  I have been letting fatigue win, which does not make me happy.  I am vowing to you all (to hold myself accountable) that I will get back on track next week.

Five For Friday +5 4/21/12

Hello, blog.  Remember me?  It’s Katie.  I have missed you so.

I cannot believe that I have not posted anything since April 8.  That is a record.  It is definitely time for me to catch up on some writing therapy.

I am pretty sad to say that I missed my first “Five For Friday” since I started my blog a year and a half ago 🙁  I am trying to be kind to myself but it irks me and my OCD personality.

So, I am going to do a “+5” on this one to try to catch myself, and all of you up.

Five For Friday +1 4/7/12

It’s EVENT WEEK!  One week from today!  How in the world did that happen?!  This Five for Friday is going to be short and sweet since my to-do list is 2427287 3 pages long.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 2 sessions of PT, 1 Graston’s and 1 strengthening.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.

2.  I have spent my week of spring break working mainly on the event, school work, and then more on the event.  Most of my time was spent on the silent auction, figuring out t-shirts, working with Allie on the slideshow, meeting with Jan, working on press contacts and email blasts (sorry if I keep bugging you. I will stop. I promise), designing the banner with Allie, and the list goes on.  Next up?  I have to figure out what I want to say.  Have I mentioned that public speaking is my biggest fear?  Well, it is, and I probably should have thought about that before we started on this event back at Thanksgiving.  I will definitely be wearing my big girl dress that night.  Breathing. 

3.  My best friend, Meghan and her son Jackson came over on Wednesday.  Wednesday ended up being the most relaxing day of spring break, sitting in the sun, having a picnic, and catching up.  Love you, Meghan!

4.  There have been lots of birthdays to celebrate this week!  A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my niece, Jameson my sister-in-law, Audrey, and my great friend, Angie!

5.  I got it!  I really got it!  I have wanted this for over a year, and I finally pulled the trigger after saving for months and bought it.  Now, I just have to figure out how to use it.  Isn’t is gorgeous?!

 

+1.  I will be posting event updates by tomorrow.  One more week of feeling like this…
