1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. New core exercises which I NEED and rib OMM.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday. He worked on me from my tailbone to my neck.
• I saw my shrink on Tuesday after Larry. I went from working on my physical health straight to working on my mental health. I firmly believe they go hand in hand.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Treadmill and floor strengthening.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I saw my shrink on Tuesday. Mental health…just as important as physical health!
• I saw one of my OMM docs on Thursday. My left side was way out of whack. Thankful for gentle manipulative medicine to get me back in place.
• I’ve been struggling with a Gastroparesis flare this week. Hoping it will pass much sooner than later.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I am beginning to incorporate more breathing exercises into my program. I do way too much breathing with my ribs and chest, and need to do more with my diaphragm.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. The usual.
• I saw my shrink on Tuesday…such a valuable hour.
• I saw Larry for our monthly appointment on Wednesday. He did a lot of OMM work on my first rib, neck, and jaw…over an hour and 20 minutes. And we did a lot of laughing. Those appointments are my fave.

1. Medical Stuff:

• I saw Dr. Rosen (shrink) on Tuesday. I love my hours with him.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• No PT. Bad week for getting in my workouts. : (

1. Medical Stuff:

• I’m not gonna sugar coat. This has been a rough week with neck, face, upper back, and jaw pain. I missed two days of school and went on an unplanned trip to Indiana to get prolotherapy injections. I have been on my heating pad more than I have not. I have puked from the pain. I have backed off from rehab to try and get things to calm down. I am working on not freaking out.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. No PT.
• Prolotherapy on Monday. I messaged my doc on Sunday about my pain and was in his office Monday morning. After 60ish injections, I was on my way back to Michigan. I’m extremely grateful for docs who will make time for patients, and will do what they can to try and get to the bottom of the pain.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday for OMM. I showed him the specific spot on my neck that has been giving me a lot of pain, including shooting pain into my left eye and lots of headaches. He is thinking it is occipital neuralgia, which is giving me ocular migraines. I did get some relief from him using gentle manipulation in that area. Ahhhh. Fun times…: )
• I saw my shrink on Thursday. It was a much needed appointment, and I walked out of the office with a much better perspective. And a much better ability to breathe in and out.
