1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I started more scap firing exercises, plus cardio, plus OMM!
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Treadmill at a high incline, light weights, light stretching.
• I was supposed to go back to Mishawaka on Thursday to see the new doc I was referred to for head, neck, and jaw pain. Well, with the snow storm that hit us, that did not happen. I am now supposed to go March 11. Fingers crossed.
• POTS insomnia has hit! Gah. It is one of the worst things in my opinion about POTS. I know enough now that it is a matter of riding it out…

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Lots of cardio and scap work.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Treadmill and core strengthening.
• I saw one of my OMM docs on Wednesday. My jaw and OA joints were our main focus. They were “the joints of the week” that didn’t want to stay in place. : )
• Thursday, I saw my shrink, Dr. Rosen. We joked about starting our 17th year together and the need for diplomas. But the truth is, I don’t ever want a diploma. I think there is a place for always working on our mental health. Zero shame.
• 3 naps this week! Woohoo!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 day of PT. I’m doing a lot more circuit work for stabilization and cardio right now.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, recumbent bike, and floor exercises.
• I saw Dr. Winkler, one of my OMM docs on Thursday.. She worked on releasing my diaphragm. It’s been getting stuck lately…
• Rough nap week. Hopefully I will get back on track next week so I am not a zombie at night.

I sat down to type and immediately thought to myself, “What DID happen this week?” I’ll tell you what happened. My pre-schoolers started school on Tuesday and joined my kindergarteners. Whew. What a whirlwind…A tired, funny, crazy, messy, beautiful blur…

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I am continuing to do a lot of cervical strengthening and joint preservation exercises.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Treadmill and floor strengthening.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday. He mostly worked on my neck and jaw. Holy pain when he goes into my mouth to release my jaw. But it always works…Larry also renewed my handicap sticker. I always have mixed feelings about this. I don’t like the times when I need to use it (at all), but I am very grateful to have it. It has made life easier and has helped me feel less sick on many occasions.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT…2 C’s & 1 S: Cardio, cranial, and strengthening.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• My first yoga class! I modified some, but I was able to do the majority of the class. I am looking forward to learning the poses and physical movements, but what speaks to me the most is the mind/body/spirit connection; learning how to slow down, breathing techniques, truly being present, and learning how to let go. All areas of my life I need work on : )
• I saw my OMM doc on Thursday. She worked from my toes to the top of my head, to make sure everything was where it’s supposed to be. I also had ear acupuncture again, since I received so many benefits last time.
