It’s EVENT WEEK!  One week from today!  How in the world did that happen?!  This Five for Friday is going to be short and sweet since my to-do list is 2427287 3 pages long.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 2 sessions of PT, 1 Graston’s and 1 strengthening.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.

2.  I have spent my week of spring break working mainly on the event, school work, and then more on the event.  Most of my time was spent on the silent auction, figuring out t-shirts, working with Allie on the slideshow, meeting with Jan, working on press contacts and email blasts (sorry if I keep bugging you. I will stop. I promise), designing the banner with Allie, and the list goes on.  Next up?  I have to figure out what I want to say.  Have I mentioned that public speaking is my biggest fear?  Well, it is, and I probably should have thought about that before we started on this event back at Thanksgiving.  I will definitely be wearing my big girl dress that night.  Breathing. 

3.  My best friend, Meghan and her son Jackson came over on Wednesday.  Wednesday ended up being the most relaxing day of spring break, sitting in the sun, having a picnic, and catching up.  Love you, Meghan!

4.  There have been lots of birthdays to celebrate this week!  A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my niece, Jameson my sister-in-law, Audrey, and my great friend, Angie!

5.  I got it!  I really got it!  I have wanted this for over a year, and I finally pulled the trigger after saving for months and bought it.  Now, I just have to figure out how to use it.  Isn’t is gorgeous?!

+1.  I will be posting event updates by tomorrow.  One more week of feeling like this…

Whoa! March already? How did that happen?!

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 day of PT.  We worked a lot on my hip.
• While my hip is experiencing this flare, I am looking for a recumbent bike, since it would provide me with the ability to do the cardio I need to fight POTS, without putting much stress on my hip.  Anyone know of one they would recommend?  Or better yet, anyone looking to get rid of one?

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 2 days of Home Rehab.
• 1 Day of Physical Therapy.  I had my first day back after two months off.  Basically this appointment was focused on setting goals.  One goal that my PT and I made together is to be able to stand in place for a longer amount of time.  Standing in place for more than a couple minutes is one of the hardest things for me to do.
• I had quite the POTSy week.  Maybe I am trying to do too much?  That’s what my body seems to be telling me.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab: Treadmill walking at an incline and strengthening.
• I had my monthly check-up with Larry.
• Today was my 11th (I think) prolotherapy appointment.  It was an eventful one full of hip, rib, neck, and scap injections, paired with a reaction to the numbing medication.  Fun times.

It’s hard to see a loved one hurt.

It’s hard to watch one of your husband’s best friends be laid to rest at the age of 35.

It’s hard to understand why.

But, maybe that is not for us to understand.
