Five For Friday 3/21/14

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of Home Rehab. No PT this week.
  • I had OMM on Thursday for my neck and upper back. My ribs are definitely being stubborn lately about staying put, but my doctor was able to work them back into place. Now, if I could just figure out how to keep them there! (I know, I know. More strengthening).
  • I got a wiggle seat! My physical therapist recommended it; especially for long car rides. It keeps me moving, so my joints don’t stiffen up as much, and it helps with posture, while making me use my core more.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 day of PT. I met another patient with EDS!
  • 1 class of Zumba. An hour and a half of Zumba with Denise is no joke.
  • 1 day of home rehab.
  • I was supposed to go to Mishawaka (IN) to get prolo shots on Thursday but had to cancel because of weather. I’m rescheduled for Friday so fingers crossed that the weather cooperates.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • No PT appointments because of parent-teacher conference nights. I was on my own this week.
  • 3 Days of Home Rehab.
  • My ribs were much more cooperative this week. I didn’t have to resort to ace wrapping them into place to survive. Thank. God.
  • I had an OMM appointment. My doctor commented on how “twitchy” my body felt as she worked on me. She explained that that is what it usually feels like when it is in a flare, which made sense to me since I have been flaring quite a bit lately. She made me promise I would get good rest and take time to recover this weekend.
