1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• My PT appointment was cancelled this week.
• Great article about living with an Invisible Illness.  It’s not long but in my opinion, it speaks volumes.

Can you believe it?  It is actually Friday and I am posting.  Too bad work, therapy, being sick, and prolotherapy pretty much cover my week.  I’ll try my best to think outside of the box…

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 Day of PT.  I was on the Reformer for most of the session.
• I went to Urgent Care on Sunday.  I ended up having an ear infection, sinus infection, and fever.  Thank God for antibiotics, and that my heart rate and blood pressure decided to check out “normalish” at the appointment.
• I had my eighth round of prolotherapy today in Mishawaka.  I’m hurtin’ now, but “this too shall pass.” More on my appointment soon.

I’m back! Since I was on vacation all week, this will have to be the vacation edition of Five For Friday.

1.  Medical Stuff:

My PT gave me permission to “just relax and enjoy the week” since I was on vacation.  However, I did do one day of rehab at the beach house, which I quickly figured out was not enough.  After 5 days of no rehab, I began to feel like my joints were coming unglued again.  It is amazing how fast my joints start to go downhill, without doing any strengthening.  At one point, I picked CeCe Baby up, and my shoulder popped out of socket.  Thankfully, my Mom was there to catch her.  Good to know, but also a big reality check that rehab will forever be a part of my life to maintain function.  Needless to say, I will be back at it hardcore tomorrow…

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 Day of PT.  We worked a lot on trying to get my lower scaps to fire properly.
• Round 7 of prolotherapy on my ribs, neck, and jaw.  Yes, jaw. I return in 6 weeks for round 8.

The heat can break any time now.  I have been experiencing a whole new level of fatigue lately and I am convinced that it is because of this ungodly heat.  It’s really weird because even when I am in the air conditioning, it feels like my body still knows that the heat index is 105 degrees. 

Just something else I am learning.  Extreme heat + POTS = Bad combo for me. 

So glad to see relief is in sight by Monday. 

Since I have been spending a lot of time in the AC, I have been trying to work on a few pretty exciting projects, as well as immersing myself in music.  Here’s a few of my favorite tunes right now…
