Hellooooo Spring Break! I welcome you with wide open arms!

1. Medical Stuff:

• No PT.
• One day of Home Rehab. Not enough rehab this week.
• One sick day taken. My blood pressure and heart rate were not cooperating, and I felt my body shutting down. I knew I had to take a day or I would be in big trouble.

What a crazy, busy week. I am laying here typing, looking like a zombie, and feeling very thankful to have my feet up right now on this sunny Saturday…

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. We are trying to do more of alternating muscle groups when I come in. Since I worked my upper body so much last week, I did tons of core, glute, leg, and hip work. Holy burnnnnn.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill; still trying to increase my incline slowly, light weights, scap exercises, toe rises, lunges, proprioception work, and light stretching.
• I saw Larry for my monthly appointment on Tuesday. My first six ribs were subluxed so he focused on my upper back to get everything to calm down and move back into place.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 day of PT.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• Zero doctors. Two weeks in a row. Whoa.
• I ended up taking Wednesday off. This was a down to the minute decision but after paying attention to my body’s “red flags” (more blood pooling, lots of fatigue, some throwing up, wacky heart rates and blood pressure) I decided it was best to give myself a rest and recovery day. I’m always a work in progress when it comes to listening to my body. Trying to get better…

1. Medical Stuff:

• All PT was on my own this week.
• 3 Days of Home Rehab. I hate side planks. Just putting that out there.
• I had my annual pulmonary function testing done this week. My test results showed all was clear.

1. Medical Stuff:

•  1 Day of PT. I have new ab and shoulder work to add to my other exercises. It’s good to change it up every once in a while.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• I was back to having a lot of POTS and insomnia problems. To be honest, it was a really rough week, with a few bad nights. It may be time to look at a couple of med changes.
• I saw Larry on Monday for my monthly appointment. He used his “magic fingers” to do cranial and upper back OMM. That man has an amazing gift.
