1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Cardio, triceps, and scaps!
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• No docs! Quiet Medical week. Love those kind ; )

WHAT. A. WEEK!

1. Medical Stuff:

• I was supposed to have PT but ended up having to cancel and go to urgent care instead because of ear pain, and the fact that it totally freaked me out that I woke up and could not hear out of my left ear. After three rounds with a peroxide ear gun, my ear was back to normal and I could hear again. Sighhhhhh…: )
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I was in Indiana on Wednesday at the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre to pick up my new mouth orthotic that is meant to help stabilize my jaw and hopefully relieve my jaw, neck, and head pain I get from TMJ (and EDS). Well, it has not gone as planned. I tried sleeping with it two nights in a row, and it is just way too tight and painful. So, back to Indiana I go for adjustments when I can figure out a day I can get away again!
• I had my fifth infusion on Monday. Still very grateful to be able to have this treatment for POTS!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. More core stability exercises, and a lot of OMM on my gut to try and help with my lingering gastroparesis flare.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill and strengthening.
• I resorted to eating smoothies, soup, yogurt, and more liquid-y fun foods this week since my gastroparesis decided to act up and stick around. I miss FOOD!
• I saw Larry on Thursday. I had my first cupping experience and I’m not sure about it yet…It felt strange…I’d like to try it again on my back. We did it on my stomach while I had acupuncture needles in my legs…Larry worked on me afterwards and tried to get my thoracic area all put back together. My ribs and stomach are angry right now, but luckily he was able to give me a bit of relief.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I had an infusion on Wednesday. I am starting to notice when I need to go. I begin to feel more POTS symptoms, and more fatigue. I am so grateful I am able to get fluids with ease. It really does feel like it helps reset my system.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Circuit training and more circuit training. For the record, one minute of running in place with a thera-band around my ankles feels like 30. Ooof.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, floor, and core strengthening.
• I saw Larry on Monday for cranial-sacral therapy, acupuncture, and cervical OMM.
