1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT. I am loving when my PT does manipulations on my back and neck with Biofreeze. It’s one of those little touches that helps with management.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, balance, and floor strengthening.
  • No doctors.

I still can’t post pics, so for now, just words will have to do…

1. Medical Stuff:

  • I was supposed to have PT on Monday BUT after 12+ inches of snow, I had to cancel after watching many, many cars get stuck on our street.  Soooo, I walked to my parents house and used their treadmill and strengthening equipment instead. No excuses.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I had prolotherapy yesterday! It had been six months…Probably about a month too long…We got to Indiana without any problems. I got my zillion shots, and have been laying low since. Now, we will see if I can last another six months.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • No PT this week. All rehab was on my own.
  • 3 days of Home Rehab. So the new treadmill was put together, and then wouldn’t work. After a lot of time on the phone, the company said it was defective and will be shipping another one…So it’s back outside for walking and cardio until the new one arrives.
  • I saw Dr. Rosen on Tuesday for a shrink appointment. Just trying to figure everything out…you know, life things…things like balance, perspective, health.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of Home Rehab. Our treadmill is broken so I took my walking outside. Don’t get me wrong. I love being outside, but I honestly miss the treadmill for my cardio time.
  • No doctor’s appointments.
  • So much fatigue. I made it through the week but my body is definitely adjusting. By Friday, I was wishing for a coffee IV.

Five For Friday 4/18/14

The 3rd annual is in the books! I will need to devote a whole post to the night…and figure out what words I can use to really express the emotions I continue to feel over the incredible generosity, love, and support we have received from so many who have embraced us and our cause. It is hard to put the grandiosity of these emotions into words, but I will try my best…I will try to get to work on that soon. I will also post Allie and my speeches.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • As expected, I became pretty sick after the event. I crashed hard. I had to cancel PT and I only got in one day of home rehab. I am thankfully slowly starting to feel better. But again, I do not want to complain. It was definitely worth the crash…
  • No doctors. This upcoming week, I am back at my intensive doctor and therapy schedule.
  • I’m sleeping a little better now…3:30 am has been my buddy this week so hopefully I will start sleeping through the nights again. Every single symptom is better when I sleep. I’m sure many of you can relate.
