1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• My PT appointment was cancelled this week.
• Great article about living with an Invisible Illness.  It’s not long but in my opinion, it speaks volumes.

Can you believe it?  It is actually Friday and I am posting.  Too bad work, therapy, being sick, and prolotherapy pretty much cover my week.  I’ll try my best to think outside of the box…

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 Day of PT.  I was on the Reformer for most of the session.
• I went to Urgent Care on Sunday.  I ended up having an ear infection, sinus infection, and fever.  Thank God for antibiotics, and that my heart rate and blood pressure decided to check out “normalish” at the appointment.
• I had my eighth round of prolotherapy today in Mishawaka.  I’m hurtin’ now, but “this too shall pass.” More on my appointment soon.

I’m starting to think that maybe I should just re-name this “Six for Saturday.”  Hopefully next week, I will actually be able to post on Friday.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab (I did much better on the rehab front this week, and low and behold, my pain level went down).
• 1 session of PT.  I spent most of the time on the Reformer.  I am thankful Katie did not ease up on me (after the fact).  As I walked in looking like one tired, dragging, hot mess, I believe her quote was, “On the Reformer, you’ll love me later.”
• I had my monthly appointment with Larry (Sports Med doc/captain of my medical team).  He worked hard at putting my lower ribs back into place.  He also did some gentle neck manipulations.   The best part of the appointment?  We did not have to fill out any paperwork, or come up with any kind of life plan BECAUSE I am now living out all of the planning we did together throughout the past year.  It’s pretty amazing to see that all of our planning paid off.  The second best part?  Larry was beaming with pride that I am working again.  Last year at this time we both thought that working was not going to be possible for me anymore.  Thank GOD for him and my medical team.  I am so blessed.

Late, late, late…I really need to figure out a blogging schedule, but in the meantime please continue to be patient with me.  I was told my blog content was a little “light” this week.  Hopefully, I will get into a groove soon so I can blog about more “meatier” subjects.  Right now, I am just repeating to myself over and over again, the good ol’ saying from Finding Nemo, “just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming…”

Here’s my Five For Friday for the week.  It’s a special “School Edition.”

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 day of Home Rehab.  This is unacceptable (I know you are gonna get me Katie if you are reading).
