Here goes, Five for Friday: Vacation Edition…My favorite week of the year!

1. Medical Stuff:

• No docs! No PT!
• Andy and I found a teeny-tiny gym on vacay and we went three times. I had three very different, very hard workouts, and a lot of whiffs of Subway while I was there. It was right next store, and every time someone went in, Subway sandwiches was all I could smell…Not my favorite smell while working out, but I lived through it. ; )

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 OMT Appointment.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• 1 Day of PT. So much sweat!
• I finally had the septoplasty (my deviated septum was corrected) on Wednesday. After a year of various tests and discussing it, I pulled the trigger and went for it.
• Lots of fun recovery time for my nose. The first few days were no picnic, but life is getting much better day by day.

1. Medical Stuff:

• I saw my shrink on Tuesday. Growth. Breathing. Perspective. GROWTH.
• I had my pre-op at my ENT for my nose surgery coming up next Wednesday. I also had labs drawn for it, and the over-the-phone pre-op with one of the surgical nurses. I’m pretty sure this will NOT be the highlight of my summer. Let’s just get this over with, shall we?
• 1 Day of PT. Back at it after recovering from NYC! 4 cardio miles, lots of strengthening in a core circuit, stim, heat, and OMT.

1. Medical Stuff:

• One Day of PT. No exercise. Just OMT and LOTS of heat and stim to get me travel ready because of my angry, spasming ribs.
• One MASSAGE to calm down my angry, spasming ribs.
• One appointment with my OMT doc to work on my angry, spasming ribs. Are you seeing a pattern, here?

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I killed it this week. Back to cardio and lots of strengthening. Woot.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Intervals on the treadmill=lots of sweat.
• I saw my new primary care doc. So happy I switched. She rocks.
• I went to the doc because I convinced myself that I had skin cancer on my face. Turns out it’s an age spot. Nice.
