• I’m back from Philly.  What a fabulous, hot girls trip!  Did I mention hot?  If these are June and early July temps,then I am scared for August.  My POTS is being a trooper, but it definitely does not like these 100 degree days one little bit.  Thank goodness for AC.

• The highlights of our trip included a visit to the Reading Terminal Market for lunch,

I feel like there is a time and a place to tell certain parts of your “life story.”   Sometimes, the time just does not seem right.  I have realized that this is okay, and often, the time will present itself when it is right and meaningful.  That is what happened to me this week.

When I was 17, something happened to me that changed my life forever.  I have always wanted to keep this part of my story

I wish they had bumper stickers that said this.  Because it’s true.  Very, very true.

This is something I never thought I would say.  But that’s life.  It can change on you in an instant.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I had my monthly appointment with Larry to assess how I am doing, and for gentle manipulation work on my ribs, neck, and jaw.  When I told him about my physical therapy dilemma, he basically responded in an, as diplomatic way as he could, with “over my dead body,” and “your doctor is the one who decides that.”  So, his plan for me is to take a physical therapy break over Christmas break to see how I do,when I am not teaching.  His bottom line was, “We are not messing with school and PT right now.”

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.  That was an interesting session since it was right after I received my very scary certified letter  from the school district (See this post.)  Let’s just say, I have never pounded the peddles of the recumbent bike so hard.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.  Working on my stubborn lower scaps!
• Faxed more medical records.  Office Max and I are becoming real tight.
