Whew! What a week! If I’m being honest, I do not think I’ve been this happy to see a Friday in a long time. I don’t think I’ve had this many tears in a long time.

BUT, if I were to find a positive in all of it, it is that I made it. And I’m smiling, and the sun is out, and I have two legs, and my family and friends are the best, and I have a job that I love, and I have medical insurance, and, and, and…Perspective, my friends. Sometimes I forget.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Lots of cranial work. Lots.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• My echo-cardiogram was normal! Thankful!
• My glasses saga continues. I took my glasses back to the eye doc. Long story short, they are getting made for a third time.
•  I saw my shrink on Thursday. Fabulous timing.
• A week of POTSy insomnia.  I keep repeating my mantra; it will pass…it WILL pass.
• Day 9 of my left eye twitching. I told my Mom I think it’s Ebola. She laughed at me.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I went in the morning since we had the day off for President’s Day. All I have to say is morning PT is a lot easier for me than afternoon PT.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I went back to the eye doctor for a prescription check since my new reading glasses have been making me sick. Right away, my doc said it was different. I remember my first appointment when I got the initial prescription. I was having a really sick POTSy day and I was barely sleeping. I am willing to bet that that had something to do with it.

I have a lot of pics from this week. I am sad I can’t post! : ( Hopefully soon…!

1. Medical Stuff:

• I saw Larry on Monday for cranial work and gentle manipulation on my ribs, neck, and jaw.
• 3 Days of Home Rehab. Strengthening, cardio, and more strengthening…
• I picked up my new reading glasses last Friday. I gave it a week to get used to them, but every time I have tried to wear them, they make me feel really sick. So hi, ho, back to the eye doc I go.

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. 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…
