1. Medical Stuff:

• No PT.
• One Day of Home Rehab. Not enough…sighhhh.
• I had my annual gyno. All lady parts checked out well.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Elliptical and bike. OMM, stim, and heat. We were trying to get my first ribs and neck to calm down. They have not been happy campers this week.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Treadmill and floor strengthening. I skipped arms with light weights since I have been pretty flared.
• I saw my primary care doc on Monday to go over my blood test results. Good news: He used the word “normal.” I’m not used to that word. 😉 He also gave me an antibiotic and steroid shot for a sinus infection that’s currently kicking my booty.
• I also saw the ENT for the first time. I really liked him. I was referred to him to get my deviated septum checked out. From his exam, he doesn’t think it’s necessary for him to do surgery. I am going to try flonase and zyrtec combined with my singulair and advair in hopes that I begin to breathe better. Very happy I do not have surgery in the near future. Yesssss.

It was really tough week. I’m gonna leave it at that. I am thankful it is now the weekend and I have the chance to take a big breather.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. First day back since teaching. It was tough at times, but I was able to push through.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, recumbent bike, light weights, floor strengthening, and the foam roller. You know the drill…
• I saw my shrink on Wednesday. Much needed. Mental health is JUST as important as physical health. Always.

July! This summer is FLYING! Slow down please!

1. Medical Stuff:

• No PT, No Home Rehab.
• 1 Infusion on Sunday.
• Still dealing with a rib/thoracic flare. A lot of back brace and ace wrap wearing going on…Thank God for ice, heat, and foam rollers too.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Elliptical, scap fires, ultrasound, stim, heat, and OMM. The works!
• No Home Rehab. I’ve been trying my best to rest this rib flare.
• 1 OMM Appointment. A lot of time was spent trying to get everything back in place. GENTLY.
• I saw Dr. Cantieri at the last minute on Monday for prolotherapy on my back and ribs. Thank god for that man for getting me in at the last minute, and thank god for my father who drove me back and forth on a whim. After 120ish shots, I’m still pretty sore, but I’m doing my best to rest and listen to doctor’s orders!
