Four missed Fridays. I don’t even know where to start.

1. Medical Stuff:

• PT. 4 sessions. All paid out of pocket. Because, yes, I am still fighting, and yes, my case is still under review.
• Working my way through Morning Meltdown workouts. Almost finished with phase 1, which means I have about 80 workouts left.
• Two infusions.
• One shrink appointment.
• I decided to get back into acupuncture. I’ve had three sessions so far and I LOVE IT…more-so than I did before. Puts me to sleep every time.
• Three lab draws.

1. Medical Stuff:

• PT. 35 minutes of cardio. I hate every second right now since I am ginormous, but I did it.
• I had an acupuncture appointment scheduled for Monday, but had to cancel. The roads were way too bad. This girl doesn’t do icy roads.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Acupuncture on Monday. Laying on my back that long was uncomfortable. Was one of the only sessions I did not fall asleep.
• Physical Therapy was Tuesday. I had more energy this week than I have had the last few weeks, which translated in getting a great cardio session in. It is amazing the difference in energy I have, depending if I do PT on Tuesdays vs Thursdays. By Thursday, I am running on fumes.
• Was at the hospital most of the day Friday for a family member’s surgery. Luckily, all went well, and we will know more results by Wednesday. Prayers up!
• Walks, walks, and more walks with my sister’s dog. It’s forcing me to get out there and move, I guess : )

1. Medical Stuff:

• Busy week of appointments! I saw my shrink on Tuesday. It was a long, overdue appointment. I must get back to making mental health a priority.
• I took Wednesday off from school for my 24 week ultrasound and OB appointment. Baby J was moving and waving. I am definitely feeling baby more which is ahhhmazing. Cervix looked good, baby looked good, heart rate and measurements were good…keep doing your thing, baby.
• Got my head stitches out on Wednesday.
• Got my flu shot.
• Acupuncture appointment. She puts the needles in my legs and head. As usual, I passed out and had to be woken up.
• Struggling with more headaches, neck pain, and jaw pain. I think things may be getting looser as I grow bigger with baby. Watching this closely so I can be proactive.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 3 days of Home Rehab. Kicked my own a$$ on Labor Day. It was rough, but I like to do that on days I know that I don’t need much energy to do anything else. I like to see what I can do and just how far I can push.
• I had acupuncture on Thursday. Pretty sure I was knocked out in a matter of minutes.
• I’m going into my 22nd week. More than halfway there!
