Five For Friday +1 2/17/12

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 2 days of Home Rehab.
  • 1 Day of Physical Therapy.  I had my first day back after two months off.  Basically this appointment was focused on setting goals.  One goal that my PT and I made together is to be able to stand in place for a longer amount of time.  Standing in place for more than a couple minutes is one of the hardest things for me to do.
  • I had quite the POTSy week.  Maybe I am trying to do too much?  That’s what my body seems to be telling me.

Five For Friday 1/6/12

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 3 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I had my 6 month cleaning at the dentist.  I received a better report with the flossing.
  • I had my second treatment with my cranio-sacral therapist.  I am finding that these appointments are ones that I am actually looking forward to.  Gotta love relief.

Our 2011 Rehash

Written by Katie. Posted in About Me, Favorites

Just for fun.  And I even got Brad to play along again.

Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

Brad-I exercised more through the spring and summer and then fell off the wagon once school started.  So, my 2012 resolution is to exercise consistently, even when life gets busy.

Katie- I like to make goals to work towards instead of resolutions.  I accomplished over half of the goals I set in 2011.  I will be making 50 more goals for 2012.  Some will carry over from 2011.

Five For Friday…4 days Late

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

Time got away from me!  I know excuses, excuses.  Everyone has one.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I had my GI follow-up at U of M.  The plan is to continue doing what I’m doing since I am managing things fairly well with Domperidone, eating small meals, and eating a lot less bread-like things.
  • I had my first appointment with my new cranio-sacral therapy doc.  She was A.MAZ.ING.  My ribs felt better when I left, and let’s just say she is very, very interested in my health.  She was going home to study more about EDS.  I think this may be the start of a beautiful thing.  I see her again in two weeks.
