1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT. Gentle neck manipulations and a LOT of cardio. I also started on the weight machines this week.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab. I rocked my cardio old school to Bell Biv Devoe. No judging.
  • Sunday, I decided it would be a good idea to run up my parent’s driveway and into their house from my car. However, my body had another idea when I slipped on a patch of ice and landed on my face. Incredibly, I only broke my pinky and scraped my knee. It happened so fast, I have no clue how I managed that, but I all I know is that it could have been MUCH worse.

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.

Happy New Year!!!

1. Medical Stuff:

  • It was a pretty lazy week all around. I had to cancel PT on Tuesday because I woke up with the stomach flu. Eleven family members out of fourteen got it. That bug was no joke.
  • 1 Day of Home Rehab which included a 3 mile walk with my sister’s pitbull.
  • No doctors.
