1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.  (I type this every Friday because it holds me accountable each week).
• I had an OMM (Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine) appointment on Thursday.  I love my doctor’s approach: gentle, yet very effective.  She worked inside of my mouth this time to try to get my jaw muscles to calm down.  The only problem at my appointment was that my blood pressure was even lower this time. Not sure how much I should be concerned about this.
• After a brief hiatus, it’s back to physical therapy for this zebra on February 2nd.
• Next week is a big travel week for me: Dr. Grubb and Bev Monday for POTS (Toledo) and Dr. Lavallee on Thursday for EDS (South Bend).  Praying for good weather.

3-Day Weekend To Do List

Lesson Plans.   

I always hear, “You’re purse is huge!”

First of all, I just love big purses.  Always have.  Probably always will.  I like to know I have the space if I need it. 

1.  Medical Stuff:

• I had my monthly Larry appointment.  He did a lot of gentle manipulations; mostly on my neck.  The OA release he does is like magic.
• I had my annual asthma check-up with Dr. Rawsthorne.  Everything checked out well.  My breathing tests looked great.  The plan?  Continue with Advair, Singulair, my rescue inhaler, and my nebulizer machine for emergencies.
• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• My blood pressure has been a major roller coaster lately.  One minute it is normal, the next minute it is super low, the next minute, the machine can’t find it…I guess that’s Dysautonomia for you.  I am starting to get good at recognizing when I have fluctuations.  When it drops, I get really tired and have a hard time thinking and forming words.  This issue is on my list to discuss with Bev when I see her and Dr. Grubb at the end of January.

“Ms. Katie, are you still sick in the afternoons?”
