Five For Friday +1 2/25/12

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of Home Rehab :/
  • 1 Session of Physical Therapy.   We focused on my hip and my extremely tight IT bands.  My therapist wants me to come twice a week (instead of once) until my hip pain/instability calms down.
  • I had an OMM appointment on Thursday.  My tailbone and sacrum were twisted so my doc concentrated on getting those back in place.  She also did some cranio work.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 2 days of Home Rehab.
  • 1 Day of Physical Therapy.  I had my first day back after two months off.  Basically this appointment was focused on setting goals.  One goal that my PT and I made together is to be able to stand in place for a longer amount of time.  Standing in place for more than a couple minutes is one of the hardest things for me to do.
  • I had quite the POTSy week.  Maybe I am trying to do too much?  That’s what my body seems to be telling me.

It was back to Mishawaka for more prolotherapy on Friday.

Sometimes, we try to add a few “fun” things to our trip, but this time, it was all about business.  We drove to the office, I had the shots, and we drove back.  It was a prolo day, so of course, the Weather Channel had declared a Winter Weather Advisory to begin at about the same time we got into the car to head home.

At this point, Brad and I have just come to terms with the fact that prolo days mean snow days.
