Just a "zebra" trying my best to live life to the fullest with EDS and POTS...and loving the ride.

Five For Friday 7/19/13

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT ~ mostly OMM.  I was struggling. A sign I need to slow down a bit.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • 1 OMM appointment: cranial-sacral therapy.
  • My POTS is definitely not appreciating this heat wave.  It can cool down any time now.

I had prolotherapy again on Wednesday.  This was intentional scheduling on my part.  I knew when I finished gymnastics camp, I would be one hurting zebra, so I figured having shots right after camp ended would be a good way to tune everything up, and help relieve some of the pain.

It was a very early morning complete with a few choice words when the alarm went off. 

An Unweighted Experience

Okay, here’s my lowdown on the new anti-gravity treadmill at my physical therapy center (MSU Rehabilitation at Michigan State University).

It was a strange experience.  Not bad strange, just different and something I needed to get used to.
