Happy Cinco de Mayo! I am celebrating by pretending my Miralax/Gatorade mixture is a Margarita! Oh, EDS, you are so fun sometimes!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 day of PT. The usual.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. The usual.
• Still navigating our new insurance. It feels like a full time job at times. Ugh.
• I saw my OMT doc. My ribs and head needed much love. Our goal was to get me headache free before I left. I did feel better so I took that as a win.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Core circuit, cardio, and OMT!
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Interval training.
• I saw my shrink on Thursday. We adjusted my meds, and I talked. A lot. It is so crazy; I have been seeing my doc now for 18 years. More than half my life. And not ashamed one little bit. Proud, actually to be focusing on my mental health too.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Ugh. Not. Enough.
• Had to cancel PT on Tuesday because I was POTS-yyyyy and did not want to waste on of my sessions. Sigh. Hoping to get totally back on track this week. My body needs it.
• I saw my shrink for an hour on Thursday. That hour felt like two minutes. Oof.
• I had an OMM appointment on Friday. It had been a while because of various circumstances. Trying to figure out how to get more frequent visits in, since it is my main source of pain management.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 NEEDED hour with my shrink.
• 1 NEEDED infusion.
• 1 PT appointment. They worked me hard! Gotta love tough love.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• Still having some increased POTSy symptoms like more blood pooling in my feet and some sleep struggles. However, I will definitely take this week over last week. Working on resetting and recovering. Working on me.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• No PT. Back at it next week.
• I had an OMM appointment on Tuesday. We worked on my upper ribs, neck, and jaw. Grateful that I respond well to the soft tissue work and gentle manipulations.
