1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of PT. We discussed doing four more weeks of two sessions a week, and then going back to trying just one day a week.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• I saw my gyno on Tuesday for some lady stuff  irregularities. Blood work and ultrasound checked out fine. Thank you lord.
• Fatigue! I forgot what’s it like to wake up at 6 everyday, teach, AND rehab. Time to retrain my body. Needless to say, September is one of my toughest months. It is one of the months, I do not commit to anything extra until I can make sure I am doing okay with just teaching and maintaining my health.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT…2 C’s & 1 S: Cardio, cranial, and strengthening.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• My first yoga class! I modified some, but I was able to do the majority of the class. I am looking forward to learning the poses and physical movements, but what speaks to me the most is the mind/body/spirit connection; learning how to slow down, breathing techniques, truly being present, and learning how to let go. All areas of my life I need work on : )
• I saw my OMM doc on Thursday. She worked from my toes to the top of my head, to make sure everything was where it’s supposed to be. I also had ear acupuncture again, since I received so many benefits last time.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Our treadmill is broken so I took my walking outside. Don’t get me wrong. I love being outside, but I honestly miss the treadmill for my cardio time.
• No doctor’s appointments.
• So much fatigue. I made it through the week but my body is definitely adjusting. By Friday, I was wishing for a coffee IV.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Had a breakdown since my ribs felt like they were on fire. My therapist did tons of gentle OMM, and it helped quite a bit. I left moving and breathing better.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• My gastroparesis is still flaring. Time to cut out certain foods until it calms down.

May! Which means Vasculitis awareness month, Ehlers-Danlos awareness month, and so many more…

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I did my strengthening and cardio work, and then we focused a lot on my thoracic junction and lower ribs. Every once in a while, this area flares up and it’s a matter of heat, Biofreeze, OMM, and just riding it out until it passes. Hopefully this will happen sooner than later!
• On a more positive note, I had a glorious week of sleep. Knock on wood that this stretch continues…
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. I had to modify my exercises a bit because of my thoracic pain, but I got both days in!
