1. Medical Stuff:

• Two sessions of PT. Still trying to get my lower back stronger and the pain under control. Labor did a number.
• Lots of walking in the neighborhood with my home-dawggggg, Gru Gru. I keep trying to add more strengthening and stretching at home but I have not been super successful. It’s a new week!

1. Medical Stuff:

• One PT. Strengthening. Cardio. OMT. Electrical Stim & Heat. We talked about different ways to hold Lucia so my ribs don’t flare up.
• Two Days of Home Rehab.
• Prolotherapy! I made it back to Indiana after 15 months, a pregnancy, and a hard labor. So grateful for this treatment that has saved me from many major surgeries so far. We did my hips, pelvic area, shoulder, thoracic and first few ribs. I’ll go back in a couple of months for my neck. In the next few days, I lay low and love up my heating pad.
• I saw my shrink on Monday. We covered a lot in that hour. And guess what? Healing is not linear.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Two Tuesdays of PT.
• I made a prolotherapy appointment. I should not be this excited for shots…
• Continuing the battle of finding balance…maybe that’s just called motherhood. I’m thinking so…; )

1. Medical Stuff:

• No docs for me. Teeny tiny bits of strengthening exercises here and there. It’s back to PT on Tuesday for this girl. Pray for me ; )

Yes, two in one again…this is Motherhood. This may be the reality for a while…because when I’m not loving on sweet Lucia, I’m running around the house taking care of other things…and when I get a moment, I just want to sleep…blogging is just not at the top of the list right now.

1. Medical Stuff:

• I made time to see my shrink. Non-negotiable. If I don’t work on keeping my cup full, I will not be able to be the mother I want to be.
• Still working on the shock of crazy sleep deprivation on my system. Thank God for an amazing husband, and family who lets me nap once in a while.
• Working on incorporating therapy right now. It’s really, really hard. Like I said, when there is me time right now, I just want to rest.
