Five For Friday 8/12/11

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 3 Days of Home Rehab.  My shoulder did not pop out of socket.  Correlation?  I think so.
  • 1 Day of PT
  • I had a Dr. Rosen appointment.  We talked more about the future and reviewed what is in my control and what is not.  Needed that.
  • I had my monthly appointment with Larry.  We also made a future plan.  I will explain more when I know more facts.
  • I spent a lot of time on record request paperwork this week.

Five For Friday +1…5/6/11

1.  Medical Stuff:  Pretty quiet week on the medical front…

  • 2 days of PT.  One that went really well, and one that was more of a psych-therapy appointment.  My PT and I discussed how breakdowns every once in a while are healthy and go with the territory.  Everyday I have been trying to focus on my Dr. Rosen homework:  “Making today right, because that is all I can control.”  Some days are easier than others.
  • 2 days of home rehab.  
  • Felt pretty sick Monday and Tuesday.  Today is the strongest I have felt all week.  I am thankful for that.

I realize my posts lately have been a lot of copying, pasting, and redirecting you all to other sites.  As I am trying to spread awareness for Ehlers Danlos Awareness month, I have also been battling an intense amount of fatigue, tachycardia, headaches, brain fog, neck pain, and have therefore, been honestly having some pretty emotional and frustrating days.  Thus, my posts have been pretty short recently. 

…BUT what’s my mantra?  “This too shall pass!”

I have wanted to post about my weekend since Sunday, but I knew it would be best if I waited for my body to start behaving better, so I could actually write coherently.
