1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Alternated the elliptical with the recumbent bike to get to 40 minutes of cardio. After cardio, scap strengthening and balance training. I ended with OMM on my neck, jaw, and upper ribs.
• I had an OMM appointment today. Because my jaw, neck and rib pain is still sticking around, we tried OMM with trigger point injections. The hope is the injections will interrupt the pain cycle. Fingers crossed.

Short and sweet…

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Trying to come out of my neck flare. Extra stim, heat, and OMM. My jaw is still an unhappy camper. Sigh.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Less intense. No upper body weights. Trying to calm things down.
• Infusion on Wednesday. It always amazes me how my body sucks up the fluids like it’s starving for them. And my nurse is always amazed that I never have to pee. I guess that’s why I need them.

Friday the 13th!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. A lot of rib OMM and cranial work after cardio and strengthening.
• I’ve been doing various Beachbody exercise programs and I like the variety. I am figuring out how to modify as I go. So far, I have done 21 Day Fix Cardio, 21 Day Fix Pilates, and PiYO Sweat.
• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• I had a procedure done yesterday where I had to be put under. It went well. I am just SORE today, but will be back in action soon. Meanwhile I am getting in some good sleep and a lot of one-on-one time with my heating pad. HOT.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT! So much cardio…and a lot of scap training and strengthening.
• I had an OMM appointment on Thursday. Stupid ribs and OA joint (neck). It was very needed.
• I have officially made it through four weeks of school. I have to say that this week is the best I have felt since school started. Here’s hoping it continues to get easier.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• I had two doctor’s appointments scheduled, but ended up canceling. My body needed me to clear my schedule to get used to school, and I am so glad that I did. I’m making a mental note about this for next September.
• One Labor Day Infusion. I spent my infusion writing! See below!
• My body is struggling. That is just honest…and normal. September is my hardest month as I adjust back to school. So if you don’t hear from me much, you know why.
