1. Medical Stuff:

• All PT was on my own this week.
• 3 Days of Home Rehab. I hate side planks. Just putting that out there.
• I had my annual pulmonary function testing done this week. My test results showed all was clear.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab. I upped my incline on the treadmill by two levels this week to try to get more of a burn in my legs. I know that for me, the stronger my legs are, the better I do with both, pain control and POTS sickness. I’ll be back at PT on Monday.
• I had my December Larry appointment on Tuesday, which included lots of cranial and jaw OMM. One of the residents came in to talk to me first. I could tell I was confusing the poor guy more and more, as I answered his questions. When he left the room to see if Larry was ready, I heard him say to someone, “I have never seen someone like her before. I think I need some help with this patient.” Ha! In my opinion, at least he could admit it, and asked for guidance. I think it would be better if more doctors had the courage to do so.  SIDE NOTE: I have experienced a lot of pain in my life, but jaw OMM has to be up there with the worst. Holy tears in my eyes. It is amazing though how much better I feel afterwards.

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.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• Thankfully, another quiet week for me medically.
• 1 Day of PT: Lots of cardio and Pilates strengthening.

• I’m back from Philly.  What a fabulous, hot girls trip!  Did I mention hot?  If these are June and early July temps,then I am scared for August.  My POTS is being a trooper, but it definitely does not like these 100 degree days one little bit.  Thank goodness for AC.

• The highlights of our trip included a visit to the Reading Terminal Market for lunch,
