1. Medical Stuff:

• Recovery, recovery, recovery. NO PT, no home rehab. (I wasn’t allowed to because of the septoplasty, so just good ol’ RECOVERY.
• Monday, I had to get my nose splints out at the hospital. Holy crapballs, those things must have been up my brain hole they were so ginormous. Good thing it went so fast…or I may have slapped my extremely nice doctor. I have so much less pressure now, which is awesome. Feels like I lost a few pounds!

1. Medical Stuff:

• I saw my shrink on Tuesday. Growth. Breathing. Perspective. GROWTH.
• I had my pre-op at my ENT for my nose surgery coming up next Wednesday. I also had labs drawn for it, and the over-the-phone pre-op with one of the surgical nurses. I’m pretty sure this will NOT be the highlight of my summer. Let’s just get this over with, shall we?
• 1 Day of PT. Back at it after recovering from NYC! 4 cardio miles, lots of strengthening in a core circuit, stim, heat, and OMT.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Increased my circuit work after cardio.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. I need a new playlist. My music is everything to get through rehab!
• NO DOCTORS. Amazing.

I feel like I just typed one of these! Please slow down, last bit of summer. PLEASE.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Two days after vacation. I felt EVERY bite of ice cream.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. A lot of treadmill, recumbent bike, and strengthening.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday for OMM. Back, ribs, neck, jaw. You know the drill.
• I was back in Indiana on Wednesday for another TMJ therapy appointment. My mouth appliance was adjusted, and I received my sleep study results. NO apnea so I do not have to do any more sleep stuff! Woohoo! It said I had, “very mild snoring at times.” The recommendation? “Patient appears to be obese. Encourage weight loss.” Wellllll, I do want to lose 5 pounds ; ) The next step is an ENT appointment to talk surgery to fix my deviated septum.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• Well, my break from PT has come to an end. I will be starting a new place next week. I have mixed emotions about this. Hoping it goes well…and the PTs are eager to learn.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday. He mostly focused his manipulations (OMM) on my lower ribs since I have been struggling with them quite a bit lately. I left with my ribs wrapped with ace wraps. My body appreciates the compression when I have flares like this one. Larry also decided it was time for me to try out a new PT place…sometimes I need a kick in the butt to try something new, and he is giving me that kick…Love the tough love.
