Andy\’s Weekend

Written by Katie. Posted in Family

Andy leaves March 16th for basic training for 9 weeks and then Officer Candidate School for 12 weeks in Fort Benning, Georgia.  I am so, so proud of Andy?, and all of his hard work, dedication, and commitment to join the Army.  Since he was 18 he talked about joining the military, but decided he would pursue a degree in kineseology first at MSU.  After graduating, becoming an Officer Candidate became even more of a passion of his and he aggressively and successfully pursued this career path. 

I will miss him so much.  Out of my three siblings he has been the one who has stayed close.  I made him promise he would write me, and he made me promise I would not send him “those talking cards” because he doesn’t want to get beat up. 🙂

Five for Friday…a little late 2/27/11

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

I’ve been soaking up every bit of family time since we had Andy’s Army going away party on Friday. Since I have been low on sleep with all of the excitement, my down time has been spent resting, recovering, and replenishing my spoons…Needless to say blogging has gone by the wayside this weekend, but I should be able to get back on track since prolotherapy round 2 is tomorrow and I will be laying low for the next few days.

1.  Medical Stuff:
  • 2 days of PT.
  • The PT student did her In-service on EDS and I went to answer questions and educate the therapists from a patient’s perspective.  I will definitely be blogging more about this.
  • 2 days of Home Rehab.

Five For Friday 2/11/11

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

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.
