1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Graston’s Therapy on my hip, quad, and IT band, plus the usual strengthening.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• Gastroparesis flare. Back on Domperidone until it calms down.
• 1 shrink appointment. I accidentally scheduled a half hour instead of an hour. What I learned? I need that hour…: )

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. That session was no joke. I was feeling well so I asked to be pushed. After the elliptical, we worked my neck, upper back, and core. I was so sore the next day. (The good kind of “sore”).
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, balance work, light weights, abs, scap and glute fires.
• I saw Larry for my April appointment. He spent a lot of time doing cranial OMM, and putting my ribs back into place. We also talked about using spray and stretch at therapy to help my neck.
• I saw my shrink on Thursday for an hour. After 15 years, I love that I still have him to talk to, and clear my head with. Like really, really love it. It’s about maintaining clarity and perspective.

1. Medical Stuff:

• I saw my OMM doctor this week, which was extremely needed. When all was said and done, I had 6 ribs put back into place, my OA joint in my neck was released, and my sacrum was put back into place. I would be in rough shape without my frequent OMM visits.
• Talk about being in rough shape without certain doctors. I would be pretty lost without my psychiatrist, Dr. Rosen. We are going on 15 years together, and he has gone through every trial and triumph with me through the years (The good, the bad, and the UGLY). I saw Dr. Rosen on Thursday which was timely said I had a major case of the “all my siblings are far away again” blues. I always explain leaving my visits with him as being able to breathe in and out with clarity. I firmly believe that your body can’t be healthy if your mind is not.
• I am currently taking a month off of PT to see how I do on my own.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. That number should be higher.

When the summer started I had this grandiose idea that I would blog all summer.  Like real, meaty posts rather than just the quick “Five for Friday” check-ins that allow me to keep a quick record of life.
