1.  Medical Stuff:

  • I love finding EDS and POTS success stories.  Here is a link to one of the latest uplifting stories I found…
  • Dentist appointment.  No cavities but I am too switch from using regular floss to using the floss picks so I am able to hold them with one hand.  I showed my dentist how I flossed with my hand that doesn’t have feeling and he suggested I switch to the picks so I can use my right hand only.
  • 3 days of Home Rehab.
  • 1 Day of PT.  On Thursday, I started using this….
A Pilates Reformer to help strengthen my core and prevent me from being so quad dominant.  It is my new torture chamber.  (Just joking, Katie!)  We do have a love-hate relationship so far though.  In all seriousness, I am always so thankful that Katie constantly tries to find new ways to challenge me and help me get stronger.

Five For Friday + 1…6/11/11

Late again.  I am noticing a pattern.  If I have a crazy week, then by Friday night I have about one spoon left which I need to use to get ready for bed instead of blogging.  Last night I was also covered in Vick’s Vapor Rub from head to toe and had to do a couple of nebulizer treatments to get my asthma under control.  I am really, REALLY trying to dodge a trip to urgent care.  Anyways, here are my “five + 1” for this week….

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT
  • 3 Days of Home Rehab
  • Had another appointment with Larry to help with some of the rib and neck pain I have had lately.  He did some GENTLE manipulations.  No assignment is due until my July appointment.
  • Awesome appointment with Dr. Rosen.  Theme:  Evolving.
