Whew! What a week! If I’m being honest, I do not think I’ve been this happy to see a Friday in a long time. I don’t think I’ve had this many tears in a long time.

BUT, if I were to find a positive in all of it, it is that I made it. And I’m smiling, and the sun is out, and I have two legs, and my family and friends are the best, and I have a job that I love, and I have medical insurance, and, and, and…Perspective, my friends. Sometimes I forget.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Lots of cranial work. Lots.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• My echo-cardiogram was normal! Thankful!
• My glasses saga continues. I took my glasses back to the eye doc. Long story short, they are getting made for a third time.
•  I saw my shrink on Thursday. Fabulous timing.
• A week of POTSy insomnia.  I keep repeating my mantra; it will pass…it WILL pass.
• Day 9 of my left eye twitching. I told my Mom I think it’s Ebola. She laughed at me.

Still trying to figure out why I can’t post pictures! Gah, I hate technical difficulties! : )

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. The usual…Cardio, strengthening exercises, and gentle manipulation. Especially on my ribs, neck, and jaw.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I saw my shrink on Tuesday. A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body…I love my doc.
• I have a prolo date! Just a couple of weeks! I’m pretty stoked for all of those shots!

1. Medical Stuff:

• Knocking on wood big time BUT I think I may have turned the corner for the better with POTS. My super bendy fingers and toes are crossed tight.
• 1 Day of PT. Graston’s Therapy on my quads.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 shrink appointment.
• I saw Dr. Winkler on Thursday for OMM.
• Started an antibiotic for a sinus infection.

1. Medical Stuff:

• I had a better week. Especially with sleep, and therefore keeping symptoms at bay. Hoping this continues, and feeling grateful for better days.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday. He put my ribs back into place and did cranial OMM on me.
• I saw Dr. Rosen (shrink) after Larry on Tuesday. We discussed my recent med adjustments, and the best ways to cope through this flare. We came up a with a log I will be keeping for now, with information about each day (flares, no flares, where I am at in my cycle, medication info, how I feel, any differences to note, etc…)
• I spent a lonnnnnggggg, but very worthwhile day in Toledo on Thursday seeing Dr. Grubb for POTS. I will try and blog about my appointment later.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.
