Whew! What a week! If I’m being honest, I do not think I’ve been this happy to see a Friday in a long time. I don’t think I’ve had this many tears in a long time.

BUT, if I were to find a positive in all of it, it is that I made it. And I’m smiling, and the sun is out, and I have two legs, and my family and friends are the best, and I have a job that I love, and I have medical insurance, and, and, and…Perspective, my friends. Sometimes I forget.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Lots of cranial work. Lots.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• My echo-cardiogram was normal! Thankful!
• My glasses saga continues. I took my glasses back to the eye doc. Long story short, they are getting made for a third time.
•  I saw my shrink on Thursday. Fabulous timing.
• A week of POTSy insomnia.  I keep repeating my mantra; it will pass…it WILL pass.
• Day 9 of my left eye twitching. I told my Mom I think it’s Ebola. She laughed at me.

Happy New Year, Zebra family!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I am starting to need more manipulation on my ribs and neck, so I am thinking that that is a sign that it’s time for me to schedule another prolotherapy appointment.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• I know it’s technically not the flu, but after Christmas, I ended up getting the stomach flu. Along with my Mom, Allie, and Brad. I am just starting to be able to look at food again.
• On a positive note, I have been enjoying sleeping more and sleeping in the last couple of weeks!

1. Medical Stuff:

• Knocking on wood big time BUT I think I may have turned the corner for the better with POTS. My super bendy fingers and toes are crossed tight.
• 1 Day of PT. Graston’s Therapy on my quads.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 shrink appointment.
• I saw Dr. Winkler on Thursday for OMM.
• Started an antibiotic for a sinus infection.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Outside in the amazingly, GORGEOUS weather.
• 1 OMM/Cranial appointment with Dr. Winkler.

1. Medical Stuff:

• No PT this week. All rehab was on my own.
• 3 days of Home Rehab. So the new treadmill was put together, and then wouldn’t work. After a lot of time on the phone, the company said it was defective and will be shipping another one…So it’s back outside for walking and cardio until the new one arrives.
• I saw Dr. Rosen on Tuesday for a shrink appointment. Just trying to figure everything out…you know, life things…things like balance, perspective, health.
