Five For Friday 9/13/13

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 3 Days of Home Rehab/Strengthening/Lifting.  This is a huge improvement over last week.
  • I saw my OMM doctor on Thursday.  I had a fever which is weird because I wasn’t feeling terrible.  It was also one of those appointments when the nurse took my blood pressure, stopped, looked at me with concern and said, “I’m not sure how you are still talking to me with a blood pressure this low.” That was my cue to down some soy sauce and lie down.  Once, I saw the doctor, she worked from my pelvis to my neck.  Let me just say that for someone so hypermobile, it’s pretty crazy how stuck my OA joints (neck) get.

Most weeks I hope I can get in Five for Friday by the end of the weekend.  This week I am feeling beyond triumphant that I am posting it a day before I am to write the next one…

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • I was gone most of the week so I had zero doctors appointments or physical therapy.  Therefore, rehab was all up to me this week.
  • 2 Days of rehab in the gym at Crystal Mountain.
