Five For Friday 1/17/20, 1/24/20, 1/31/20, & 2/7/20

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

Four missed Fridays. I don’t even know where to start.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • PT. 4 sessions. All paid out of pocket. Because, yes, I am still fighting, and yes, my case is still under review.
  • Working my way through Morning Meltdown workouts. Almost finished with phase 1, which means I have about 80 workouts left.
  • Two infusions.
  • One shrink appointment.
  • I decided to get back into acupuncture. I’ve had three sessions so far and I LOVE IT…more-so than I did before. Puts me to sleep every time.
  • Three lab draws.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • One day of PT. Cardio, strengthening, stim/heat, and manipulative medicine…mostly on my cervical and thoracic.
  • Two days of Home Rehab. I need new workout music. I’m in a rut. Any recs?
  • One Infusion.
  • Two plugged ears flushed. No infection.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • Two sessions of PT. I think I’m at a point where I’m ready to increase intensity. I love the feeling of progress.
  • Two days of home rehab. I’m trying each time to beat my time on the treadmill. A bit of friendly competition with myself.
  • One shrink appointment = one deeper breath after.
  • Back to infusions! Had my first one in a while. I always marvel at how needed it must have been when I get two liters, and don’t pee for hours afterwards.
  • Flu shot!

  1. Medical Stuff:
  • One day of PT. Because this lower back/hip stuff thinks it can stick around, it was time to get fitted for a soft brace. I need the stability and I finally gave in. Hopefully it will be temporary until I can get stronger and then throw it an drawer. In the meantime, I have a big, black soft brace holding my tummy in. I guess that’s not terrible.
