Hello, September!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of PT. We are really working on my cervical strength.
• 1 day of Home Rehab.
• A friend told me about how they love their Fisher Wallace Stimulator. Anyone else have any experiences with this, feedback, etc? I’m interested.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I learned my muscles in the front of my neck are weaker than WEAK, and are in desperate need of retraining.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• I saw my shrink on Thursday. 15 years together and going strong…I say it a lot. Working on mental health is just as important as working on physical health. No shame in that game.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of PT. Holy cow, it’s a workout. So far, it has been a wonderful balance of cardio, strengthening, and manual medicine. And for the record, I hate planks. Hate them.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday. Like every August, we did my medical accommodation letter for the upcoming school-year. Larry also did quite a bit of work on my ribs. I felt like I could move and breathe afterwards. I’m feeling pretty thankful for my medical team these days.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of PT. I started a new place for physical therapy…My break from PT is officially over. I am really encouraged by my new therapists and their knowledge of EDS. It sounds like a handful of fellow EDS’rs go there as well. Looking forward to learning more about how to manage this crazy, weird illness called EDS.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• 6 month dental cleaning. Still no cavities but I had a little more bleeding, which my dentist thinks is due to EDS and the fact that the gums are made of connective tissue.

Vacation week is over…: ( Trying not to be too sad…we made some pretty incredible memories.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Not much going on, on the medical front this week. No docs, no PT, and I pretty much failed on home rehab while I was away. Sigh. Back at it TODAY. NO excuses.
• Still waiting for my Domperidone. It is coming from England, to Canada, and then to me. Hopefully any day now…
