Five For Friday…4 days Late

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

Time got away from me!  I know excuses, excuses.  Everyone has one.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I had my GI follow-up at U of M.  The plan is to continue doing what I’m doing since I am managing things fairly well with Domperidone, eating small meals, and eating a lot less bread-like things.
  • I had my first appointment with my new cranio-sacral therapy doc.  She was A.MAZ.ING.  My ribs felt better when I left, and let’s just say she is very, very interested in my health.  She was going home to study more about EDS.  I think this may be the start of a beautiful thing.  I see her again in two weeks.

It\’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Since school got out on Friday, I have immersed myself into the hustle and bustle of the season.  Shopping, wrapping, doctor’s appointments thrown in, some rehab, some more shopping, necessary naps, Christmas cards, and some more wrapping.  As of 10 PM last night (thanks to my brother’s help) I am officially done, done…and DONE. 

Five For Friday +1 12/17/11

Whew!  I feel like I can finally breathe again.  The past two weeks have been the hardest, most demanding weeks I’ve had since returning to work. But I fought through it and survived.  And I am proud of that.

Vacation may now commence.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • I had my December appointment with Larry.  He put four of my subluxed ribs back into place and did a lot of gentle neck manipulations.  He agreed that I may really benefit from regular cranio-cervical therapy and referred me to a doctor in Holt for weekly OMM.  December 22nd is my first appointment.  Fingers crossed.
  • I had two gyno appointments.
  • 1 Day of PT.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I scheduled my Dr. Grubb follow-up appointment for January in Toledo.  Now I just need to schedule my Dr. Lavallee, EDS follow-up for January too.
