1. Medical Stuff:

• Tuesday PT! 30 minutes of cardio, light strengthening, OMM…the usual…I forgot the prenatal cradle but I have it now! Next visit…
• No other doctors…but I am very happy to report that I am sleeping better. So relieved…
• I miss sweating. I have not been able to do anything intense since pregnancy…I’m getting excited to be able to sweat again after Baby J arrives.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Tuesday PT. It’s getting harder. One foot in front of the other. Had 20 mins of wonderful heat and stim on my neck.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. 3 miles and light strengthening. Hoping I can do this until January…
• One more Lovenox shot and I am done for the rest of this pregnancy. I always freak out when I go off a med that the baby has been used to since the beginning. Praying.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can actually talk about ultrasounds! Because I am high risk in four areas, I get to see the babe often…I guess that is a plus of being a GERIATRIC pregnant woman…;) Monday, I had an US and baby was not having it. It was in the same mood I wanted to feel…curled up in a ball, sleeping, with an arm over the head so it didn’t have to acknowledge the “paparazzi.” Everything looked and measured good! I am getting to the halfway point!
• I had to go to my PCP to get my annual accommodation letter for my school district. Easy peasy.
• I am being referred to a dermatologist because I have a cyst that won’t leave. My PCP has tried twice to remove it and it keeps returning, so now it is time for the big guns. Fun. Times.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Spring break catch up on doctor’s.
• Thursday we went to Toledo to see Dr. Grubb for my yearly appointment. I am doing well, and only have to take my Propranalol and Midodrine as needed now. Thank you, body. I will take it. I will continue my saline infusions regularly, and take my meds on bad days. I’ve come a long way since when I started in 2010…in a wheelchair. Grateful.
• I got my stitches out from my cyst removal.
• Got some lab work done I was putting off.
• Refilled tons of meds.
• Scheduled weekly acupuncture for the next month. I’m excited!
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Cardio outside in the SNOW, strengthening exercises inside in the WARMTH.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Running in place with a leg band around my ankles is HARD.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, recumbent bike, and floor strengthening.
• No doctors!
