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

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT.  That was an interesting session since it was right after I received my very scary certified letter  from the school district (See this post.)  Let’s just say, I have never pounded the peddles of the recumbent bike so hard.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.  Working on my stubborn lower scaps!
  • Faxed more medical records.  Office Max and I are becoming real tight.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 3 Days of Home Rehab.  My shoulder did not pop out of socket.  Correlation?  I think so.
  • 1 Day of PT
  • I had a Dr. Rosen appointment.  We talked more about the future and reviewed what is in my control and what is not.  Needed that.
  • I had my monthly appointment with Larry.  We also made a future plan.  I will explain more when I know more facts.
  • I spent a lot of time on record request paperwork this week.

Five For Friday +2…8/7/11

I’m back! Since I was on vacation all week, this will have to be the vacation edition of Five For Friday.

1.  Medical Stuff:

My PT gave me permission to “just relax and enjoy the week” since I was on vacation.  However, I did do one day of rehab at the beach house, which I quickly figured out was not enough.  After 5 days of no rehab, I began to feel like my joints were coming unglued again.  It is amazing how fast my joints start to go downhill, without doing any strengthening.  At one point, I picked CeCe Baby up, and my shoulder popped out of socket.  Thankfully, my Mom was there to catch her.  Good to know, but also a big reality check that rehab will forever be a part of my life to maintain function.  Needless to say, I will be back at it hardcore tomorrow…
