1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of Home Rehab.  I really failed this week at finding the energy or the time to rehab. This obviously has to change.
• No PT. My “break” is almost over.
• No doctor’s appointments.
• I spent Labor Day going to Urgent Care not once, but twice, for an infected toe from a pedicure. Long story.
• Insomnia. Sigh. You all know it’s my fave (insert sarcasm here). I have to keep reminding myself that, “this too shall pass.”

1. Medical Stuff:

• 4 Days of Home Rehab.  Since I am still off from PT for a little longer, I am much more limited with equipment, so therapy has consisted of a lot of treadmill or outside walking with steep inclines, a lot of joint strengthening exercises (supermans, glute fires, squats, etc.), and a lot of light weight lifting for my upper body.
• Zero doctors appointments this week AND next week (so I can get used to school).  Amazing.

Oh hey there, blog. Remember me?  Sorry for the neglect…Life is crazy.  I am currently living in benefit planning land.  It’s fabulous. Interesting. Intense. A blessing. Stressful. And at times, it can be completely insane. But instead of making excuses, I’ll get right to the last couple of weeks…This will be a combined edition.  The top 10 of the last two weeks.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 sessions of Physical Therapy, with lectures on pacing, along with all of my exercises.  It is a beautiful thing when your therapist looks at you and says, “I know exactly what you need today. Sit down and listen.”
• One trip to urgent care due to POTS, stress, exhaustion, and dehydration. (Cue the physical therapy lectures).
• 5 Home Rehab sessions.
• One telephone conversation with Dr. Larry about what I need to do for me to survive.

Happy February, friends!

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of Home Rehab.  I should have worked another day in there.
• My OMM doctor had to cancel my Tuesday appointment due to sickness.  I am rescheduled for later in February.  Right now, my thoracic is in major need of some gentle manipulative medicine.  While I wait, I will rely on heat, strengthening, foam rollers, and my physical therapist.
