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

Positive Pick Me Ups

Today while I was RESTING, I found this blog and fell in L-O-V-E.  It went immediately into my favorites.  Just a lot of great food for thought all compiled in one place. 

As I was reading, this poem really struck a chord with me, especially this line:  “No one else may have the blessings these problems will bring you.”

R & R

So today I got to therapy ready to get on the full body gym, and my PT pulled me into one of the exams room instead.  She said we were going to talk first today.  Uh oh.  She said she was watching me on Monday and was worried that I am overdoing it, and that we need to think more about pacing.  Ughhhhh, “pacing”…I have developed a strong dislike for that word ever since I was diagnosed.  She asked me how I have been doing after therapy and I was honest.  I said some days I feel great and do completely fine and other days I crash hard.  She asked me about how I was after Monday and I admitted that I went to Meijers afterwards (I was supposed to go straight home and rest), and by Tuesday morning I was throwing up and had to sleep during the day.  Busted.
