1. Medical Stuff:

• 4 Days of Home Rehab. Lots of treadmill, and floor work (joint strengthening).
• I saw Larry on Tuesday for OMM and our monthly office date.  He told me I am going back to good ol’ Physical Therapy in September.  I told him I was managing pretty well on my own, but he reminded me of the shock my body is about to undergo with going back to school.  Knowing he was right, I just smiled and said, “Yes, Larry.”
• It was a stupid insomnia week.  There’s not much I hate in this world, but not being able to sleep is definitely one of them.

Well, this is a record for the latest I have ever been for a “Five For Friday.”  At least I made it before Sunday.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• I had a couple of wheelchair days.  I tried my best not to get down about it.  My Mom helped with a little tough love, as in “suck it up, it’s temporary, sit your butt down in the chair…”  When we got to the mall last Sunday, she reminded me that my wheelchair, Wilamena, gives me the freedom to do things, I would not be able to do otherwise. Thank God for my Mama.
• 1 Day of PT. Focus~Strengthening and neck manipulation.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• Prolotherapy round 12 was yesterday.  I got about 90-some shots, but who’s counting?

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of Home Rehab :/
• 1 Session of Physical Therapy.   We focused on my hip and my extremely tight IT bands.  My therapist wants me to come twice a week (instead of once) until my hip pain/instability calms down.
• I had an OMM appointment on Thursday.  My tailbone and sacrum were twisted so my doc concentrated on getting those back in place.  She also did some cranio work. 

Faith.  This is something I’ve really only started to explore this past year.  I was raised Catholic.  I have always believed in God.  But beyond that, church was just something I attended.  Religion, church, and Faith were things I never really thought much about.

Music.  Relationships. 

Relationships.  Music. 

These are the two things that have gotten me through this past year without going crazy.  These are the two things that I lean on heavily everyday for my survival.  For my sanity.  For my motivation and inspiration.  For my Faith.

I could write for hours and hours about both of these topics, and as I continue to blog, I know that they will keep surfacing as major players in my life.  U2 is something I have been meaning to write about since I saw them in concert at Spartan Stadium a little over a week ago.  It is funny because the first 27 years of my life, I liked U2.  They made up a chunk of my running playlist.  I would watch some of their concerts on Palladia.  I knew and admired that Bono was really involved with various charities.
