Five For Friday +1 11/12/11

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • 1 Day of PT.
  • I finally got a medical ID bracelet.  I ordered it 3 days ago and it came today.  I went with the simplest, cheapest bracelet I could find.  It is like a Livestrong bracelet with a stainless steel plate.  The plate fits five lines of text.  I paid $15 total including shipping.

Sorry, guys. You can't have my husband's digits 🙂

Five For Friday 11/4/11

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

What a week!  This has been a hard week for me because of many school obligations, but I made it through.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of home rehab.  Probably more like 1.5 days.  Yup, that’s it.  This week was a big fail when it comes to therapy.  I have a lot of making up to do.  Trying not to beat myself up.
  • Rough GI week.

Five For Friday 10/28/11

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT.
  • 1 Day of Home Rehab.  I just could not fit in that second day this week because of my breathing issues.  Back on the wagon next week.
  • I had my annual gyno exam.  As my doctor was leaving he said, “Well, everything looked good and checked out healthy.”  I said, “Um, that was music to my ears…can you say that one more time?” I always try to remind myself that I still have my good health.  At least my lady parts fall into that category.

My Week in Chapters

Chapter 1: School

I told Zondra the other day (the afternoon teacher in our classroom) that I finally felt like the kids and I were getting into a rhythm.  She agreed that she felt the same way in the afternoons.

The procedures are established, the kids have adjusted, I have adjusted, and we are finally into the “meat” of things.  Sounds, letters, numbers, the 5 senses, pumpkins, art projects, storytelling, and the list goes on…
