Slow down summer! You’re half over!

1. Medical Stuff:

• I had my Septoplasty post-op on Tuesday. Everything looked great, and I have officially “graduated.” Two weeks later, I am SO glad I did it. I can breathe out of my left side, and therefore breathe correctly for the first time ever.
• I am able to work out again too! I got two workouts in this week. It’s crazy how fast you lose endurance and muscle. Time to get serious again.
• I can blow my nose again, guys. If you haven’t been able to blow your nose for two weeks too, you know how HUGE this is. Ahhh.

1. Medical Stuff:

• One Day of PT. My thoracic was super locked up. We don’t usually crack me, but that day was an exception.
• No Home Rehab. This is not an excuse; there is never an excuse, but my week was insane and I didn’t get it in.
• No doctors. Just a lot of everything else!

WHAT. A. WEEK!

1. Medical Stuff:

• I was supposed to have PT but ended up having to cancel and go to urgent care instead because of ear pain, and the fact that it totally freaked me out that I woke up and could not hear out of my left ear. After three rounds with a peroxide ear gun, my ear was back to normal and I could hear again. Sighhhhhh…: )
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I was in Indiana on Wednesday at the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre to pick up my new mouth orthotic that is meant to help stabilize my jaw and hopefully relieve my jaw, neck, and head pain I get from TMJ (and EDS). Well, it has not gone as planned. I tried sleeping with it two nights in a row, and it is just way too tight and painful. So, back to Indiana I go for adjustments when I can figure out a day I can get away again!
• I had my fifth infusion on Monday. Still very grateful to be able to have this treatment for POTS!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of “kinda” PT. I was feeling sick so after my PT worked on me, she sent me home without me doing my exercises.
• That same night, I ended up in urgent care. They kept me until they were sure I did not have pneumonia. I ended up getting to go home with a prescription to treat bronchitis and a sinus infection.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. I pushed hard when I feeling better since I missed my normal PT work due to being sick.

1. Medical Stuff:

• No doctors. Lots of rest, ice, and heat for my back.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• Taking a break from PT for the summer to see how I do. I better be able to start getting more home rehab in asap. We are experimenting.
