1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• Zero docs. I will make up for that next week : )
• My neck and ribs are still being stubborn, but at least I did not need to wear any braces this week! Gotta look for the positives!

Still trying to figure out why I can’t post pictures! Gah, I hate technical difficulties! : )

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. The usual…Cardio, strengthening exercises, and gentle manipulation. Especially on my ribs, neck, and jaw.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I saw my shrink on Tuesday. A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body…I love my doc.
• I have a prolo date! Just a couple of weeks! I’m pretty stoked for all of those shots!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I was HURTING. I may or may not have cried some. My neck and ribs were really out of whack so my therapist spent the time doing gentle manipulations to try and get them back into place. She also used kinesio tape to tape my neck to take some of the strain off of it.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. It was a “wear my neck brace while on the treadmill” week. Like I said last week, I think it is time for more prolotherapy.
• I had my echo that Dr. Grubb ordered a month ago. He likes to have EDS patients checked every two years, mainly for mitral valve prolapse. So far, no news. I figure no news is good news.

I made it! Christmas vacation is here!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I added some crazy hard balance exercises to my program.
• No days of Home Rehab. I caught what has been going through my classroom and my asthma flared up, making it really hard to breathe. Vick’s and my nebulizer became my BFF.
• 2 Days of breathing treatments, four times a day.

Life has been going at a crazy pace, but I guess, better late than never…

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I have been having increasing headaches, which I suspect is from some neck instability. My PT did a lot of cranial work, which is an incredible help with decreasing the amount and severity of headaches. It may be time for more prolotherapy.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I saw Larry on Friday. The focus of our appointment was my ribs…I had about 5 out so he put them back in place, and also helped me figure out how to schedule the echo that Dr. Grubb ordered for me. It’s that time again. I was told every 2-3 years, an EDS’r needs their heart checked; mainly for mitral valve prolapse.
