1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 Day of PT.  We worked a lot on trying to get my lower scaps to fire properly.
• Round 7 of prolotherapy on my ribs, neck, and jaw.  Yes, jaw. I return in 6 weeks for round 8.

I am sorry, blog, but I will be pretty neglectful for the next two weeks. I am busy working on giving you a prettier, more informational, more loving home.  Therefore, most of my time this week will be occupied working on this project.  I am also traveling to Mishawaka tomorrow for round 7 of prolotherapy, so I will be out of commission for the next couple of days.

Slow on the medical front this week!  I still need a new neck though!

• 1 day of PT
•  2 days of Home Rehab
• I received the book, When Bad Things Happen to Good People from Dr. Grubb.

I read this letter this morning, which was written by a fellow POTSy friend.  It is beautifully written, honest, and REAL.  I found that it reflected a lot of what I have also tried to express to others this past year about having POTS.  I encourage you to read Susan’s letter if you have the time.  As tears streamed down my face as I read, I just kept thinking, “Thank you, Susan,” for putting into words the emotions that come with redefining life after being diagnosed with this crazy thing called Dysautonomia.

The heat can break any time now.  I have been experiencing a whole new level of fatigue lately and I am convinced that it is because of this ungodly heat.  It’s really weird because even when I am in the air conditioning, it feels like my body still knows that the heat index is 105 degrees. 

Just something else I am learning.  Extreme heat + POTS = Bad combo for me. 

So glad to see relief is in sight by Monday. 

Since I have been spending a lot of time in the AC, I have been trying to work on a few pretty exciting projects, as well as immersing myself in music.  Here’s a few of my favorite tunes right now…
