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.

Still trying to figure out why I can’t post pictures! Gah, I hate technical difficulties! : )

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT. The usual…Cardio, strengthening exercises, and gentle manipulation. Especially on my ribs, neck, and jaw.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I saw my shrink on Tuesday. A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body…I love my doc.
  • I have a prolo date! Just a couple of weeks! I’m pretty stoked for all of those shots!

Happy New Year, Zebra family!

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT. I am starting to need more manipulation on my ribs and neck, so I am thinking that that is a sign that it’s time for me to schedule another prolotherapy appointment.
  • 1 Day of Home Rehab.
  • I know it’s technically not the flu, but after Christmas, I ended up getting the stomach flu. Along with my Mom, Allie, and Brad. I am just starting to be able to look at food again.
  • On a positive note, I have been enjoying sleeping more and sleeping in the last couple of weeks!

Pain is Real. So is Hope.

I returned to Mishawaka yesterday for more prolotherapy. I have been struggling with my first ribs, neck pain, jaw pain, and headaches lately so I was relieved it was time for shots again, as twisted as that sounds.  I worked all the way there in my benefit planning world, knowing I would not be able to move much the rest of the day.
