Five For Friday 4/24/15

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT…2 C’s & 1 S: Cardio, cranial, and strengthening.
  • 1 Day of Home Rehab.
  • My first yoga class! I modified some, but I was able to do the majority of the class. I am looking forward to learning the poses and physical movements, but what speaks to me the most is the mind/body/spirit connection; learning how to slow down, breathing techniques, truly being present, and learning how to let go. All areas of my life I need work on : )
  • I saw my OMM doc on Thursday. She worked from my toes to the top of my head, to make sure everything was where it’s supposed to be. I also had ear acupuncture again, since I received so many benefits last time.

Five For Friday 3/6/15

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

Whew! What a week! If I’m being honest, I do not think I’ve been this happy to see a Friday in a long time. I don’t think I’ve had this many tears in a long time.

BUT, if I were to find a positive in all of it, it is that I made it. And I’m smiling, and the sun is out, and I have two legs, and my family and friends are the best, and I have a job that I love, and I have medical insurance, and, and, and…Perspective, my friends. Sometimes I forget.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT. Lots of cranial work. Lots.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • My echo-cardiogram was normal! Thankful!
  • My glasses saga continues. I took my glasses back to the eye doc. Long story short, they are getting made for a third time.
  •  I saw my shrink on Thursday. Fabulous timing.
  • A week of POTSy insomnia.  I keep repeating my mantra; it will pass…it WILL pass.
  • Day 9 of my left eye twitching. I told my Mom I think it’s Ebola. She laughed at me.

Happy New Year, Zebra family!

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT. I am starting to need more manipulation on my ribs and neck, so I am thinking that that is a sign that it’s time for me to schedule another prolotherapy appointment.
  • 1 Day of Home Rehab.
  • I know it’s technically not the flu, but after Christmas, I ended up getting the stomach flu. Along with my Mom, Allie, and Brad. I am just starting to be able to look at food again.
  • On a positive note, I have been enjoying sleeping more and sleeping in the last couple of weeks!
