Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 3 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I had my 6 month follow-up with Bev (Dr. Grubb) for POTS on Monday.
  • I had my yearly EDS follow-up with Dr. Lavallee on Thursday.
  • My ribs feel like they are going to collapse.  Not cool.  Not cool at all.

1.  Go back to work. I did! I’m working Monday-Friday until noon.

Fatigue, School, and some Randoms Mixed In

Written by Katie. Posted in Random, Teaching

I feel like I’m in a blog slump.  I’m pretty sure it has to do with energy, or my lack thereof lately.   I’ve been sleeping like a fool lately when I get home from school.  I walk in the door.  I rehab.  And then this tiredness hits me like a brick.  It’s a tiredness that I’ve never experienced before this year of sickness.  In fact, I wish there was another word for it because I feel like “tired” or even “fatigue” does not do it justice.
