1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.  It was my last appointment in the building I have gone to for 3 years.  My next session is in their brand new facility.  Can’t wait to see it!
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• No doctors this week.

Happy May…which means Happy Ehlers-Danlos and Vasculitis Awareness Months!

1.  Medical Stuff:

• I traveled to Toledo, OH on Monday to see one of my POTS specialists, Dr. Bev.  More about that soon.
• I traveled to Mishawaka, IN on Thursday for prolotherapy injections. More to come on that too.
• 3 Days of Home Rehab.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.  I was able to get back on the Reformer after doing my cardio on the Elliptical.  I find that I actually miss that “torture chamber” if I am away for it for more than a week.  I think I have kinda, sorta fallen in love with it.  It works my whole body; especially my core, while being kind to my joints.  Now I just need to figure out how to get in more Reformer sessions during the week.  (I never thought I would say that).

What a difference a week makes.

Last Saturday at this time, I was in a cocktail dress, with my hair and makeup done, surrounded by so much love and support, hosting Life as a Zebra Foundation’s second annual benefit concert with my sister.

This Saturday, I have just woken up, I am sitting with heating pads on my back and neck, and I am in my sweats, blogging and watching Knocked Up.

I am not complaining.  Both are spectacular feelings. 

Oh hey there, blog. Remember me?  Sorry for the neglect…Life is crazy.  I am currently living in benefit planning land.  It’s fabulous. Interesting. Intense. A blessing. Stressful. And at times, it can be completely insane. But instead of making excuses, I’ll get right to the last couple of weeks…This will be a combined edition.  The top 10 of the last two weeks.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 sessions of Physical Therapy, with lectures on pacing, along with all of my exercises.  It is a beautiful thing when your therapist looks at you and says, “I know exactly what you need today. Sit down and listen.”
• One trip to urgent care due to POTS, stress, exhaustion, and dehydration. (Cue the physical therapy lectures).
• 5 Home Rehab sessions.
• One telephone conversation with Dr. Larry about what I need to do for me to survive.
