1. Medical Stuff:

• I had to cancel PT on Monday. I felt sick after school, and was worried about driving.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I saw my shrink on Tuesday. It was a needed appointment to talk meds, and figure out how to cope with this latest flare. Love him.
• I still had a week of struggling with POTS, and therefore sleep. I started a new med, and am really, really, REALLY looking forward to feeling like my body is somewhat cooperating with me again.

Happy Birthday, America!

1. Medical Stuff:

• One day of PT. First time back on the elliptical after being out of the boot. Also, I worked a lot on scap fire exercises.  My traps love to fire instead of my scaps which gives me a lot of the neck pain (and therefore, headaches) I experience, so it’s a matter of me consistently retraining my scap muscles to do the work.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 Shrink Appointment. Striving for balance in all areas of life.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 day of home rehab and zero PT. I spent a lot of time with my new BFF, the recumbent bike in my basement.
• 1 shrink appointment. 1 hour of perspective, reflecting, and clarifying.
• What a weird week! Soooooo I did this by dropping a table on my foot cleaning my classroom, which took up a lot of my week with workman’s comp paperwork and all of the questions that accompany that, along with 3 doctor’s appointments. After going back and forth about whether it was broken or not, the final verdict was I have an old break on the side of my foot (which does not hurt), but I just bruised the top of my foot. I am already out of my robo boot less and less. Feeling grateful and relieved I am not stuck in it for 6 weeks like they originally thought. 

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Graston’s Therapy on my hip, quad, and IT band, plus the usual strengthening.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• Gastroparesis flare. Back on Domperidone until it calms down.
• 1 shrink appointment. I accidentally scheduled a half hour instead of an hour. What I learned? I need that hour…: )

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. That session was no joke. I was feeling well so I asked to be pushed. After the elliptical, we worked my neck, upper back, and core. I was so sore the next day. (The good kind of “sore”).
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, balance work, light weights, abs, scap and glute fires.
• I saw Larry for my April appointment. He spent a lot of time doing cranial OMM, and putting my ribs back into place. We also talked about using spray and stretch at therapy to help my neck.
• I saw my shrink on Thursday for an hour. After 15 years, I love that I still have him to talk to, and clear my head with. Like really, really love it. It’s about maintaining clarity and perspective.
