1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT in their new facility.  It’s beautiful.  I never thought I would say this, but I hope they move the torture chamber Reformer in soon.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I had my monthly doctor appointment with Larry.  He did the usual OMM on me.  I may be crazy but I always notice a relationship between less POTS symptoms after gentle cranial work.  Love it.

What a difference a week makes.

Last Saturday at this time, I was in a cocktail dress, with my hair and makeup done, surrounded by so much love and support, hosting Life as a Zebra Foundation’s second annual benefit concert with my sister.

This Saturday, I have just woken up, I am sitting with heating pads on my back and neck, and I am in my sweats, blogging and watching Knocked Up.

I am not complaining.  Both are spectacular feelings. 

Five For Friday 3/31/13 & 4/6/13: Benefit Concert Edition

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday, Fundraisers

Oh hey there, blog. Remember me?  Sorry for the neglect…Life is crazy.  I am currently living in benefit planning land.  It’s fabulous. Interesting. Intense. A blessing. Stressful. And at times, it can be completely insane. But instead of making excuses, I’ll get right to the last couple of weeks…This will be a combined edition.  The top 10 of the last two weeks.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 2 sessions of Physical Therapy, with lectures on pacing, along with all of my exercises.  It is a beautiful thing when your therapist looks at you and says, “I know exactly what you need today. Sit down and listen.”
  • One trip to urgent care due to POTS, stress, exhaustion, and dehydration. (Cue the physical therapy lectures).
  • 5 Home Rehab sessions.
  • One telephone conversation with Dr. Larry about what I need to do for me to survive.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • No PT.  I was on my own all week.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I saw Larry in the office for lots of OMM.  My body got a much needed tune-up!
  • This week was much more manageable in terms of what I needed to get done, and I realized a lot of that was due to a couple of factors:
