Jul 06 Five For Friday 7/5/13

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.  Elliptical, mat exercises, and major jaw and neck OMM.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.  Treadmill, balance work, mat exercises, glute fires, light weights, scap fires.
• I had prolotherapy on Wednesday.  You can read about it here.

2.  Gymnastics camp ended on Monday. A few things about the experience:

• Doubling up on my Midodrine in the afternoon was a savior.  So was putting my feet up at lunch, and pacing myself more in the afternoon.
• By day 3 I did not think I would it make it through. Somehow, some way, I did.
• My love for coaching gymnastics and dance was renewed those 4 days.
• I don’t want to hear the songs, “Troublemaker” and “Wings” for a very long time. (I still love “Blurred Lines.”)
• When asking my Dad to record the dances, remember to tell him no fast panning.  If I posted them, you would all be struck with motion sickness!
• The girls rocked their dances.  I was like a proud Mama bear.
• This is after the performances.  What is amazing is that I am still standing…and smiling.

3.  I spent a lazy fourth of July recovering from shots, resting, sleeping, and having a BBQ with the fam and friends. A perfect R & R kinda day. I have a fun, busy week coming up with concerts, Zebra work, and the Color Run.  I need all the “spoons” I can get!

The one picture we took on the 4th to send to our brother in Texas. We thought it would make him feel at home. His response was “beautiful.”

4.    You know it’s been a pretty uneventful week when you find yourself posting pictures of your toes.

First pedicure of the summer. This is a major improvement from the “before.”

5.  We spent Tuesday night at a surprise birthday party for our friend Todd at their house on Narrow Lake.  Thanks for the memories, Glasscock’s, Daggett’s, & Gooley’s!
