1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.  My shoulder did not pop out of socket.  Correlation?  I think so.
• 1 Day of PT
• I had a Dr. Rosen appointment.  We talked more about the future and reviewed what is in my control and what is not.  Needed that.
• I had my monthly appointment with Larry.  We also made a future plan.  I will explain more when I know more facts.
• I spent a lot of time on record request paperwork this week.

I love the a-ha moments in life…the ones where my light bulb all of a sudden changes from pitch black to ON.

I was blessed to have two of these moments yesterday.

• 1 Day of PT.  Had a re-eval and made a few new goals.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• Had my monthly Larry appointment.  We talked a lot about future goals, while he did some gentle manipulative medicine on my neck.
• I saw Dr. Rosen.  To be honest there was not much of a theme to this appointment.  Even though I was all over the place, I still think I sorted a few things out in my crazy, jumbled up mind.  It always helps me to be able to really talk things through.

Late again.  I am noticing a pattern.  If I have a crazy week, then by Friday night I have about one spoon left which I need to use to get ready for bed instead of blogging.  Last night I was also covered in Vick’s Vapor Rub from head to toe and had to do a couple of nebulizer treatments to get my asthma under control.  I am really, REALLY trying to dodge a trip to urgent care.  Anyways, here are my “five + 1” for this week….

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT
• 3 Days of Home Rehab
• Had another appointment with Larry to help with some of the rib and neck pain I have had lately.  He did some GENTLE manipulations.  No assignment is due until my July appointment.
• Awesome appointment with Dr. Rosen.  Theme:  Evolving. 

Dr. Rosen asked me at my last appointment if I wished I was never diagnosed with EDS.  I was already emotional and actually got kind of angry at his question.  Without any hesitation, I snapped back that of course I wish I didn’t have EDS. 

After I left my appointment that day, it was as if Dr. Rosen’s question was haunting me.  I could not get it off of my mind.  I realized as I thought more and more about it that the answer to that question is not as black and white as I thought it was at the time.  I took that question with me to therapy.  I took it with me to Georgia.  I sent my Aunt Mada a Facebook message about it to see what her perspective was since she lives a full and active life with MS.  And then I thought about it some more.
