1.  Medical Stuff:

• Had Prolotherapy treatment #1 Monday on my neck and upper back.
• Saw Larry Tuesday in the office-We talked about how I am doing and goals to set.  We decided that it is best to still wait to see Dr. Grubb and hear another opinion on POTS treatment.  
• The cardiologist called and said my blood work looked good.
• Had PT Thursday.  My PT pretty much said I am a “lifer.”  I’m okay with that if it gets me to where I need to be.  I also met another EDS person at therapy this week. 
• Did home rehab Wednesday and Friday.

Do you remember how one of my 50 goals for 2011 is to choreograph a dance?  Growing up, I was always choreographing with gymnastics friends and my sister, and it has always been a love of mine.  I helped my sister choreograph one of her last floor routines.  Dancing is definitely a hobby that I want to work towards to be able to do again with stamina. 

I’m sitting…ok lying here after PT trying to get my body to move but not having much luck.  I guess that is to be expected with my first PT session after prolo.  I did surprisingly well during therapy but I am definitely feeling it now.

On the Dysautonomia POTS FB page this morning, this status caught my eye:
“It is important that you recognize your progress and take pride in your accomplishments. Share your achievements with others. Brag a little. The recognition and support of those around you is nurturing.”  ~Rosemarie Rossetti


This quote was very timely today. 

For my own documenting sake, I wanted to post (in my opinion) the BEST commercial from The Super Bowl.  It gave me chills and goosebumps all at the same time.  I heard it on the radio coming home from Indiana yesterday, and it made me emotional all over again~Besides making me feel such a sense of pride as a Michigander, there’s just something about that guy’s voice that gets me every time.

This pretty much sums it up.  Honestly, the first thing I thought of when I watched this, was “Welcome to my world.”  Out of all the videos I have watched and things I have read, this one has rang the most true for me…And she talks about struggling with POTS as well. I love, love, love that she is working towards a marathon.  Makes me wish I could hug her.
