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.

Thorn: Waking up to an alarm clock again.

Rose: Working with some of my best friends.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 4 Days of Home Rehab. Lots of treadmill, and floor work (joint strengthening).
• I saw Larry on Tuesday for OMM and our monthly office date.  He told me I am going back to good ol’ Physical Therapy in September.  I told him I was managing pretty well on my own, but he reminded me of the shock my body is about to undergo with going back to school.  Knowing he was right, I just smiled and said, “Yes, Larry.”
• It was a stupid insomnia week.  There’s not much I hate in this world, but not being able to sleep is definitely one of them.

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.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT ~ mostly OMM.  I was struggling. A sign I need to slow down a bit.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 OMM appointment: cranial-sacral therapy.
• My POTS is definitely not appreciating this heat wave.  It can cool down any time now.
