Today was my last day of receiving IV antibiotics treatments - woohoo! After pushing myself hard yesterday I gave myself a day to rest - no walks or running stairs. I'll get back to the exercise tomorrow.
Read MoreConquered 21 flights of stairs today but only had time to get in one walk. After seeing my ortho surgeon he wants me to keep up with the exercise but not push it much further. I started working with our insurance companies on a couple of things including our Short Term Disability claim.
Read MoreIncreased to 20 flights of stairs yesterday from 15 flights the day previous. Have I mentioned that I despise running stairs?!? My overall step count was a bit lower but that's probably because I didn't have an additional doctor's appointment yesterday as I did on Tuesday. I still did two walks yesterday.
Read MoreThe generosity and outpouring of support from everyone has been incredible. While there is a long road ahead, your support means more to us than we can express. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Read MoreYesterday I knocked out two walks and pushed myself through an additional 5 flights of stairs. That brought yesterday's total to 3,541 (+410 steps) and 15 flights of stairs (+5 flights). I won't be able to make such sharp increases every day but every day I will push myself to progress in some way.
Read MoreX-rays from this afternoon's visit to the ortho surgeon. These were painful to take since it was first time out of the slings.
Read MorePushed through a second walk yesterday bringing my total to 3,130 steps including the 10 flights of stairs. I also ate dinner out of bed for the second night in a row, choosing the living room last night.
Read MoreLast night was an odd night of sleeping - one of those where you swear you've been up the entire time even though you really have been passed out. Throughout the night I had a few muscle spasms that sent pain through my shoulders.
Read MoreAs today comes to a close, I am happy with today's progress. I didn't end up going for a second walk tonight but I did go double the distance this morning.
Read MoreBack at the hospital for my daily IV antibiotics treatment which takes an hour. After this, it's home for a short walk then back to bed to rest.
Read MoreSlept well last night, beyond being awoken by the earthquake. That wreaked havoc on my shoulders but after a couple doses of meds they are doing better. I also slept the latest that I have in a really long time which felt good.
Read MoreFor those who wanted to see what I look like when I go without shaving for two weeks. This is me in the dual shoulder immobilizers and polar ice packs on each shoulder.
Read MoreToday has been a success so far. After coming home from getting IV antibiotics at the hospital, I was pretty exhausted and, at first, decided against going for a walk with Sasha. However, I decided to push through and walk with Sasha.
Read MoreSlept better last night being back in my own bed, with the other interruptions being to take my meds every three hours. Sadly Sasha has sat at the door whimpering since I got home. The few tries to bring her into the bedroom were unsuccessful. I feel bad because she doesn't understand.
Read MoreIt took a lot longer than expected to check out of the hospital but we are back home now. I'm settled in bed and we have the polar ice packs hooked back up to my shoulders.
