I will say it again…this flu is NO Joke. The respiratory part just doesn’t want to leave me. I’m ready to part ways though. My ribs are REALLY ready.

1. Medical Stuff:

• No PT this week. Sick. Blah.
• No Home Rehab. Sick. Blahhhh.
• Brad and I were in Indiana on Wednesday. First, I had my TMJ checkup with Dr. Klauer. My mouthpiece is helping, and I decided it is in my best interest to have my septum fixed this summer. The left side of my nose is blocked because of a severe deviated septum and a large bone spur. So here’s the being able to breathe better! After that appointment, we raced over to Dr. Cantieri’s office where I had my first prolotherapy treatment in 7 months. A record! I had shots in my jaw, neck, upper back, lower back, and left hip. I like to call it my EDS tune-up.

What. A. Week. I have declared today a recovery day, where I move just enough so people know I’m alive.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. A lot of work on my thoracic. By the time I got to therapy on Thursday, my mid back was NOT happy with me.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• I napped almost every day after school this week. So needed and always a cause for celebration.

1. Medical Stuff:

• I did so much better this week. 2 Days of Home rehab and 1 day of PT. Three HARD workouts. I’m trying to get my muscles back on track, and they were definitely feeling it this week ; )
• 1 Shrink appointment.
• I went back to the ENT about looking at my deviated septum. I got there and they STILL did not have my CT scan from my other doc, so it was pretty much a waste of time. I called and my other doc said he will be sending it for a third time. I’m not exactly sure where the miscommunication is coming from, but I’m really, really hoping the third time is the charm.
• Had a better sleep week. Praying it continues.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Ugh. Not. Enough.
• Had to cancel PT on Tuesday because I was POTS-yyyyy and did not want to waste on of my sessions. Sigh. Hoping to get totally back on track this week. My body needs it.
• I saw my shrink for an hour on Thursday. That hour felt like two minutes. Oof.
• I had an OMM appointment on Friday. It had been a while because of various circumstances. Trying to figure out how to get more frequent visits in, since it is my main source of pain management.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• Crazy Insomnia and POTS flare. This was definitely a one hour at a time kinda week!
• No doctors or therapy this week.
