1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 after school Infusion on Wednesday to get through the rest of the week.
• 3 HARD home workouts.
• Brad and I walked two nights this week instead of one. Progress.
• On some new meds right now that are making me a bit “curvier.” Kinda sucks but we do what we gotta do, right? Hoping it’s temporary.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. We increased my arm strengthening, along with cardio. Let me just say 2 minutes walking backwards on a treadmill feels WAY longer than two minutes walking forward.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• 1 Hour with my shrink. Cathartic.
• I had an appointment with my OMM doc on Friday. She took pity on me and also called me in an antibiotic since I was a gross, feverish, coughing, snotty mess.

Christmas! Merry, Merry to all who celebrate!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. My diaphragm keeps getting stuck and doing weird things. After my cardio and lat pull downs, my PT worked a lot on my tummy.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Two miles on the treadmill and two miles on the bike. Leg and core strengthening.
• Not a great week for sleep or gastroparesis. Blah.
• No doctors.

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:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• Physical Therapy was canceled because my physical therapist was sick.  Lots of sickness going around lately!
• No doctors appointments this week.
• I had major issues this week with my POTS flaring, and therefore insomnia.  Sometimes my heart rate gets so high that it feels like I am running a marathon when I should be sleeping.  Insomnia then makes my POTS worse and it ends up being a vicious cycle.  So needless to say, it has been harder to function this week, but I keep telling myself that like everything else, “This too shall pass.”
