1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. It was a “calm down my ribs” kinda session. Plus elliptical and thoracic exercises.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 OMM appointment for cranial-sacral therapy.
• My body is still anti-nap. I don’t understand.

October! The month I turn another year older! Bring it on : )

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. We discussed how I am doing and decided to try one time per week, while continuing my home rehab program. If I begin to “crash” I will go back to twice a week.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• One of my OMM docs moved and opened her own practice. Monday, I saw her for the first time at her new location. Her gentle hands and cranial manipulation were able to calm down my head and jaw pain. That is worth the farther drive if you ask me.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I am loving when my PT does manipulations on my back and neck with Biofreeze. It’s one of those little touches that helps with management.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, balance, and floor strengthening.
• No doctors.

I sat down to type and immediately thought to myself, “What DID happen this week?” I’ll tell you what happened. My pre-schoolers started school on Tuesday and joined my kindergarteners. Whew. What a whirlwind…A tired, funny, crazy, messy, beautiful blur…

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I am continuing to do a lot of cervical strengthening and joint preservation exercises.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Treadmill and floor strengthening.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday. He mostly worked on my neck and jaw. Holy pain when he goes into my mouth to release my jaw. But it always works…Larry also renewed my handicap sticker. I always have mixed feelings about this. I don’t like the times when I need to use it (at all), but I am very grateful to have it. It has made life easier and has helped me feel less sick on many occasions.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I learned my muscles in the front of my neck are weaker than WEAK, and are in desperate need of retraining.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• I saw my shrink on Thursday. 15 years together and going strong…I say it a lot. Working on mental health is just as important as working on physical health. No shame in that game.
