1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I saw Dr. Rosen

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of PT: 1 strengthening, 1 Graston’s.
• I had an OMM appointment.  Usually I see my doc every other week, but it had been 5 weeks.  Immediately upon examination, her eyes got big and she could not believe how outta whack my body was.  The highlight was when she said, “Whoa! You have some party going on in your pelvis.”  Needless to say, she fixed my “party.”
• No home rehab.  I have been letting fatigue win, which does not make me happy.  I am vowing to you all (to hold myself accountable) that I will get back on track next week.

For documentation sake, here are Allie and my speeches from “An Evening with Chris Trapper to Benefit Invisible Illnesses,” which was held on April 14th at Lou and Harry’s Sports Bar and Grill.

Katie’s Speech:

“Starting to feel better, so bring on the weather I feel I’ve prepared for anything…

We are the ones who are never afraid, We need no rehearsal to dance. We’re well aware this may be our last chance,

So bring on the avalanche.”

 That was an excerpt from one of Chris’s songs, “Avalanche.”  For the last two years I have been learning how to face my Avalanche.  And you know what? The fact that I am able to stand on my two feet in front of you tonight instead of in my wheelchair, is one of the reasons for me to continue to fight to face my Avalanche.

It all started as a dream.

And then the dream slowly turned into a ginormous goal.

And then the dream that had become the goal, finally became a reality this week.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 crappy day of PT.  That will have to be a totally separate post.  Long story.
• I got my flu shot.  My pulmonologist will be happy.
