2003 - Fell madly in love with a poisonous guy. When I finally got it together and broke up with him, I was left with no friends and no job and more scars (emotional and not) than I care to divulge. The only friend who happened to stick by my side through that relationship also happened to be very deep into drugs and thus, my only friend after the ( Read more... )

Today was my long awaited drs appt with the hypermobility specialist at University of Washington. First, he was a super nice guy and that was great because, well, you really never know with drs - some can be total idiots ( Read more... )

Today I had physical therapy. It turned out to sort of be a hard workout. I mean, hard in a good way. I told my PT that I feel like my butt is lifting! Ha! Also, she added in some workouts that I couldn’t even do on the first day. It’s a pretty awesome feeling to have proof that I am improving. Ugh, bring on the bike ( Read more... )

My hip has been hurting a bit lately. I had physical therapy today, which was okay but my hip is still really sore. After PT I went to Safeway. I parked in the Handicap spot like I normally do. I don't always need it but with hypermobility, the thing is that you never know. I could pop something out of alignment and need to be as close to the car ( Read more... )

When did physical therapy turn into physical torture? Today was hard. I can do it but it’s definitely turning into a workout. It wore me out. Otherwise, I worked ahead on my homework and finished an essay (good me). And that’s it. Pretty boring day but it was so productive.

Today was a physical therapy day. I am proud to say that yesterday I was almost entirely pain free and today is very minimal as well. I’m super excited. I’m not sure if it is just a good week or if it’s the physical therapy or if it’s because I’m on a super high dose of glucosamine & MSM. Whatever it is, I’m thrilled that I feel this great and I ( Read more... )

Let's see, today I had physical therapy. I woke up and my lower back was killing me. My knees were better (I slept with a pillow under them) and my right hip was a little wonky. But I figured, perfect day for physical therapy. My mom came over to watch the kids because Ethan had to work (Zoë starts with Hooked In Motion tomorrow). Nothing too ( Read more... )

You know how much homework I have? A lot. You know how much I did today? None ( Read more... )

I am so tired today. I know we have a ton of work with unpacking and organizing but I slept with Beebs most of the night and it wasn’t a very good sleep ( Read more... )

Well, the time has come for us to move. Tonight will be the last night in this house. I look out at the sea of bare walls and stacked boxes and it makes me feel sad... then I remember I don't give a crap. I hated this neighborhood, the house had issues and we are moving to something much better in many ways. I just hate moving. Even though I don't ( Read more... )
