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…

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?

Whew!

What. A. Week.  Conferences, meetings, and sickness!  But I made it through!

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 day of PT.  Focus: Graston’s Treatment on my hip.
• 2 days of Home Rehab.
• This heat has been an adjustment for me this week.  My blood has decided that it would rather hang out in my feet than in my brain.  I’m working on this.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone!

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• I had an OMM appointment.  We focused mainly on my neck; especially an OA release.
• 2 Days of PT~one session focused on strengthening and one session focused on Graston’s treatment.  This is a new treatment I am trying for my hip that uses six stainless steel tools of different shapes and sizes, which helps my PT break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. 

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.  My hip has calmed down quite a bit.  Knock on wood.
• I had my monthly appointment with Larry today.  I had a lot of OMM done on my back, hip, neck, and jaw.  I also had to suck down a packet of soy sauce to try to raise my blood pressure [GAG ME].  You should have seen the nurse’s face when she read my blood pressure on the machine (70/40).  I learned today that apparently that BP reading is quite worrisome.  No wonder I had a major headache, felt like a space cadet, and was seeing spots.  I must start monitoring it more regularly.
