1. Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • No PT. Back at it next week.
  • I had an OMM appointment on Tuesday. We worked on my upper ribs, neck, and jaw. Grateful that I respond well to the soft tissue work and gentle manipulations.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • One emergency trip to the eye doc. Still trying to figure out what’s going on. We have ruled out that it is not just inflammation in my body since the steroid drops did not work. So everything is still pointing to an infection that will not go away. I am starting new antibiotic drops tonight. Lucky drops #4?! Let’s hope.
  • 1 cancelled PT appointment because I had to go to the eye doc instead. Sigh.

November! Time, slow down! Craziness!

Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT. For the first time in a few weeks, I had good energy, so we went with it and I worked out HARD.
  • No Home Rehab. That was a big fail this week.
  • I had an OMM appointment on Monday. In my Halloween costume which was interesting since I went from school and totally forgot to bring clothes. It was interesting to be manipulated as Snow White.
  • I had my monthly shrink appointment. Just so grateful for that man.
  • I’m still having issues with my eyes. Right now, I am experimenting with just steroid drops (rather than antibiotic steroid drops) to see if it keeps the flare away. Sighh. My body loves medical mysteries.
  • I slept a bit better this week. I am hopeful.
