1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I had a really rough weekend of rib subluxations, stomach flu, and migraines from EDS neck pain so when I arrived to therapy, I had had it. I immediately burst into tears…It’s been a while since that happened but my amazing therapist was able to calm me (and my pain) down with a stern pep talk about pacing and listening to my body, cranial therapy, and rib OMM.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, balance work, and floor exercises.
• I have been trying to drink more and more water. I have been feeling so dehydrated lately which does not help my POTS issues.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I was supposed to have PT on Tuesday but when I showed up, I was told to go home due to having a fever and a sinus infection.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday before my scheduled therapy appointment. I had been feeling yucky so when the nurse told me I had a fever, I was not surprised. In addition to having the usual cranial and back OMM, Larry also wrote me a prescription to take care of my sinus infection. I am happy to say I am feeling much, MUCH better now.

Dear Family, Friends, Supporters, and Fellow Zebras,

Finally!

After months, and days, and hours, and hours…and more hours of planning, we are finally ready to launch ticket sales for our 3rd Annual, “An Evening with Chris Trapper and Tony Lucca to Benefit Invisible Illness Awareness and Research.”

There have been many meetings so far.  So many triumphs.  So many acts of kindness and generosity.  So many emails.  And yes, even a few frustrations and tears along the way.  I have learned that just goes with the territory.

Two years ago, the dream was born for Allie and me. 

1. Medical Stuff:

• All PT was on my own this week.
• 3 Days of Home Rehab. I hate side planks. Just putting that out there.
• I had my annual pulmonary function testing done this week. My test results showed all was clear.

February! Whoa!

1. Medical Stuff:

• This was one of those weeks I felt like I lived at the doctor.
• 1 Day of PT. Planks, planks, and more planks.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. I upped my treadmill incline this week.
• I saw my psychiatrist on Tuesday. In 15 years, I can honestly say I have always left his office able to breathe so much better. Tuesday was no different. I told him he is never, ever allowed to retire. We changed my meds a bit, and I will be seeing him bi-weekly for the time being. I am always reminded after those appointments that working on my mental health is just as important as working on my physical health.
