Today was another huge appointment, the meeting with OT and and National Seating and Mobility to finalize the paperwork of my new made to me chair. The timeline above lists that I can expect my chair anywhere between 2-6 months.

The Big Appointment
If you have followed me since my illness, you have known then how I have lamented that Neurology couldn’t see me until April 11th. Well today was finally April 11th. I had a relatively early appointment of 10:30. This was a marathon appointment as you will see below, and turned into a much longer appointment… Continue reading The Big Appointment
Care Management is a full time job.
As I sit here starting Bridgerton Season 2 (yes Kristen, I have started it and we will need to debrief) I feel like I am the Lady Whistledown of my own life. So much to tell people, and debrief on, and yet, I don’t want to Facebook/Instagram post every day. My blog is my semi-incognito… Continue reading Care Management is a full time job.
Adapting My Life
This week is spring break at my school, but for me since I am on medical leave this week just seems like any other week. I am in a holding pattern this week, getting discharged from home health today, so no PT/OT coming in, but it isn’t until next week that I go to the… Continue reading Adapting My Life
Routine…
Studies have shown having a routine is important for most people, and most people fall into a routine. My routine has changed a couple of times this year already, from my 40+ hour a week grind with school, to the crazy hospital routine, to the rehab hospital routine, to what I am on currently which… Continue reading Routine…

I was accepted, so I guess that means I’m officially disabled now? I was encouraged to reach out to them by my wheelchair specialist at NuMotion, but the… Continue reading I guess I’m disabled now??
Keeping Mentally Active During Recovery
My Mom said to me late this week “do you ever stop and turn off?” and my retort at the time was “I turned off for about three weeks already while I was in the hospital and in rehab.” My parents, while still active in their own ways, are in the slowdown phase of their… Continue reading Keeping Mentally Active During Recovery
Home 2.0
Yesterday, was a big travel day. Got everything gathered, my Dad came about 11am and we were on the road and home just after 12 noon. My parents, sister and brother-in-law and some of my friends did a ton of work to get my Schultz Rehab area ready, and I arrived home, or at least… Continue reading Home 2.0
Mentally Preparing Myself to Get Out of Here…
Well, I knew it would happen eventually, that I would be getting out of a hospital setting. Word came down late yesterday that I am getting discharged from here because I no longer need 24 hour nursing care- which is great- but that doesn’t mean I am fully prepared to be at home (which is… Continue reading Mentally Preparing Myself to Get Out of Here…
Groundhog Day Special- What does a day in inpatient rehab actually look like?
Today is Groundhog Day, the day where we have the truly strange tradition of hauling a rodent out of the ground and declaring if winter is over or not. This tradition has its roots in the Pagan Holiday of Imbolc which is around this time of year, and it signals the start of spring where… Continue reading Groundhog Day Special- What does a day in inpatient rehab actually look like?
