1. Medical Stuff:

• NO PT this week so I was on my own. 3 Days of HARD Home rehab. I especially upped the intensity on the treadmill and recumbent bike, and you bet I was one sore cookie. But it felt good…and it REALLY felt good to accomplish new goals.
• I had an OMM appointment on Thursday. I know I need some prolotherapy on my left side, for stabilization, but for right now, rehab and OMM is going to have to do until Brad and I can get to Mishawaka.

1. Medical Stuff:

• My latest EDS Fun: JAW. FLARE. It keeps dislocating on the left side. I’ve been living on my heating pad. Fun times.
• 4 Home workouts this week: 21 Day Fix, PIYO Sweat, 10 miles on the Recumbent Bike, Running and a lot of core. I think I may have overdid it a bit. I will be taking it easy this weekend.
• I had an OMM appointment on Thursday. My doctor kept putting my jaw into place, and it kept popping out. She told me to take it easy to try and get it to calm down. Do you know how hard it is to try not to yawn?!?!

Here goes, Five for Friday: Vacation Edition…My favorite week of the year!

1. Medical Stuff:

• No docs! No PT!
• Andy and I found a teeny-tiny gym on vacay and we went three times. I had three very different, very hard workouts, and a lot of whiffs of Subway while I was there. It was right next store, and every time someone went in, Subway sandwiches was all I could smell…Not my favorite smell while working out, but I lived through it. ; )

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.

This was a long week…and I’m still standing…barely…oof.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Had my annual pulmonary appointment and breathing testing. I am all good for another year.
• 2 Days of PT. My ribs and stomach sucked this week which is the reason for two appointments instead of one. I definitely needed more OMT. Stubborn ribs.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Running with my collar. I did okay despite my ribs.
