I had prolotherapy again on Wednesday.  This was intentional scheduling on my part.  I knew when I finished gymnastics camp, I would be one hurting zebra, so I figured having shots right after camp ended would be a good way to tune everything up, and help relieve some of the pain.

It was a very early morning complete with a few choice words when the alarm went off. 

Five For Friday 6/28/13

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.
