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

Have you ever wondered…

What noise a zebra makes?  Probably not but if so, you can listen here.  Scroll down on the page, and It’s on the left (towards the bottom) under “Sound Byte.”

Can you tell I’ve been on a couch for a couple days?  Can you tell I’m getting a tad bit bored?  I’m still really sore and stiff but I am definitely moving around better today.  Good thing it’s back to therapy tomorrow.  

Zebra Power!

For my own documenting sake, I wanted to post (in my opinion) the BEST commercial from The Super Bowl.  It gave me chills and goosebumps all at the same time.  I heard it on the radio coming home from Indiana yesterday, and it made me emotional all over again~Besides making me feel such a sense of pride as a Michigander, there’s just something about that guy’s voice that gets me every time.

Five For Friday 2/4/11

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

1.  Medical Stuff:
I had two sessions of PT.  
Bought special gloves to use to help put on my compression stockings.
A lot of exercises were done at home.
I rescheduled and rescheduled again prolotherapy for Monday.
I had blood work to test my potassium since Florinef can deplete potassium.  My potassium was normal but my glucose was low.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 PT session this week…my other appts were cancelled so I hit my exercises hard at home the best I could.
  • Got my new compression stockings.  They are thick like a sweater! Takes “compression” to a whole new level. 
  • Saw Dr. Cantieri for prolotherapy, Dr. Lavallee for EDS, and Dr. Halleran for POTS in Mishawaka/South Bend.
  • Was prescribed topical Testosterone and a topical pain med that I had to get made at a compound pharmacy.
  • Was prescribed Florinef for POTS.
