Hello, September!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of PT. We are really working on my cervical strength.
• 1 day of Home Rehab.
• A friend told me about how they love their Fisher Wallace Stimulator. Anyone else have any experiences with this, feedback, etc? I’m interested.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• I take Domperidone for Gastroparesis. I called this week to fill my prescription at the compound pharmacy I use, and was told the US can no longer make it. SO weird. So, after many calls to U of M and the Canadian Pharmacy, it is now coming from England, then to Canada, and then to me. I should have it by the end of August. In the meantime, if I look pregnant, I am not. Just for the record.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• This was a struggle week with my ribs and pain. I got into the doctor as an “emergency” on Friday because I was in so much pain from my ribs being subluxed. After a lot of manipulation, 4 trigger point injections, ear acupuncture, and having to do a colon cleanse because my gastroparesis had flared, it was decided it was best I rest for the weekend. This meant no Life as a Zebra Foundation, “Team Zebra” 5k the next day…I cried and then moved on into acceptance mode. I knew in my heart that this was an instance when I needed to listen to the docs who were trying to help me!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I had my monthly appointment with Larry. He worked a LOT of my ribs, and also did cranial work. That man has magical hands!
• I’ve been ordered to rest…Something very difficult for me, but I know it’s necessary. Wish me luck.

I stayed home from school yesterday…to rest. My body has been telling me in more ways than one that it needed some recovery time…and I listened. Maybe I am getting a bit wiser in my older age : )

1. Medical Stuff:

• I saw my Pulmonologist on Monday. I love when I hear the word “normal” from a doctor. My breathing tests were all NORMAL.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday for more OMM; ribs, cranial, and TMJ.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I got my glasses back for the third time. It’s true! The third time IS the charm! They do not make me sick. Yesssss.
• Going on my third straight week of my left eye twitching. I’m trying not to worry. But I’m Katie…I’ve named it Henry. I hope Henry goes away really, really soon.
