1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab…on the brand new, beautiful, FIXED treadmill.
• I had to take Tuesday off from school. I wasn’t sleeping enough, my heart rate was too high, and I started to notice more blood pooling than usual, which are usually red flags that I need to slow down and rest. Luckily, I slept three hours that afternoon, and did okay getting through the rest of the week.

1. Medical Stuff:

• No PT this week. All rehab was on my own.
• 3 days of Home Rehab. So the new treadmill was put together, and then wouldn’t work. After a lot of time on the phone, the company said it was defective and will be shipping another one…So it’s back outside for walking and cardio until the new one arrives.
• I saw Dr. Rosen on Tuesday for a shrink appointment. Just trying to figure everything out…you know, life things…things like balance, perspective, health.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Lots of scap firing exercises. These help strengthen my upper back and neck to stay out of my neck brace.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Cardio done outside but the exciting news is, my Mom and Dad bought a treadmill last weekend (I usually go over to their house to workout). It just needs to be put together, and I’ll be good to go.
• I saw Larry for my September appointment. He did OMM, and made sure my body was put together. We realized at this appointment that I had a fever, and likely a sinus infection. I was given an antibiotic.
• I’ve been really struggling with energy and stamina. I’m hoping that my body continues to adjust to the day to day “grind” and the intense fatigue that I’m feeling will begin to lessen. Fingers crossed…

I’ve been on vacation all week in Saugatuck with my family…Playing catch up now!

1. Medical Stuff:

• No PT since I was away.
• I did one day of Home Rehab. Then my back decided to flare like crazy and I spent the rest of the week trying to calm it down with Ibuprofen, rest, ice, and my massage pillow.
• Vacation sleep is amazing sleep. It was the first week all summer I have slept really, really well.

Happy August, friends! I have to admit, my reaction to August is always mixed; I know there is still more fun and relaxation to be had, but I also know that life will soon go back to the “fast” pace that is often hard for me as a zebra at the end of the month…Sooooo, I am working hard on living in the moment, and not projecting.  Easier said than done, but I am trying!

Anyways,

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 day of PT. The usual drill. Lots of cardio and strengthening and I ended with cranial OMM.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• Had my six month cleaning at the dentist. Still no cavities at 32. Trying to keep the streak going!
