1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 OMM appointment to put my bendy body back together.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Elliptical, scap fires, ultrasound, stim, heat, and OMM. The works!
• No Home Rehab. I’ve been trying my best to rest this rib flare.
• 1 OMM Appointment. A lot of time was spent trying to get everything back in place. GENTLY.
• I saw Dr. Cantieri at the last minute on Monday for prolotherapy on my back and ribs. Thank god for that man for getting me in at the last minute, and thank god for my father who drove me back and forth on a whim. After 120ish shots, I’m still pretty sore, but I’m doing my best to rest and listen to doctor’s orders!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. More core stability exercises, and a lot of OMM on my gut to try and help with my lingering gastroparesis flare.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill and strengthening.
• I resorted to eating smoothies, soup, yogurt, and more liquid-y fun foods this week since my gastroparesis decided to act up and stick around. I miss FOOD!
• I saw Larry on Thursday. I had my first cupping experience and I’m not sure about it yet…It felt strange…I’d like to try it again on my back. We did it on my stomach while I had acupuncture needles in my legs…Larry worked on me afterwards and tried to get my thoracic area all put back together. My ribs and stomach are angry right now, but luckily he was able to give me a bit of relief.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I saw my shrink on Tuesday. Mental health…just as important as physical health!
• I saw one of my OMM docs on Thursday. My left side was way out of whack. Thankful for gentle manipulative medicine to get me back in place.
• I’ve been struggling with a Gastroparesis flare this week. Hoping it will pass much sooner than later.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I am beginning to incorporate more breathing exercises into my program. I do way too much breathing with my ribs and chest, and need to do more with my diaphragm.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. The usual.
• I saw my shrink on Tuesday…such a valuable hour.
• I saw Larry for our monthly appointment on Wednesday. He did a lot of OMM work on my first rib, neck, and jaw…over an hour and 20 minutes. And we did a lot of laughing. Those appointments are my fave.
