Just a "zebra" trying my best to live life to the fullest with EDS and POTS...and loving the ride.

Whew!  I feel like I can finally breathe again.  The past two weeks have been the hardest, most demanding weeks I’ve had since returning to work. But I fought through it and survived.  And I am proud of that.

Vacation may now commence.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • I had my December appointment with Larry.  He put four of my subluxed ribs back into place and did a lot of gentle neck manipulations.  He agreed that I may really benefit from regular cranio-cervical therapy and referred me to a doctor in Holt for weekly OMM.  December 22nd is my first appointment.  Fingers crossed.
  • I had two gyno appointments.
  • 1 Day of PT.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I scheduled my Dr. Grubb follow-up appointment for January in Toledo.  Now I just need to schedule my Dr. Lavallee, EDS follow-up for January too.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 3 Days of Home Rehab.
  • No PT. My PT was on vacation all week.
  • I saw Dr. Rosen.  It had been a while and was a very timely visit.  Basically the quote of the hour (or theme, I guess you could say) was “Uncertainty is a bi%$#.”  This zebra HATES uncertainty.

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I saw Larry in the office on Monday.  We talked more about my physical therapy plan (most likely I will be trying out an every other week schedule to see how I do after Christmas break).  He also put 4 of my ribs back in place and manipulated my OA bone that was rotated.
  • Today, I had my 9th prolotherapy treatment.  It has been a rough one, but I should hopefully be back on my feet tomorrow.
  • This week marked my one year anniversary for my POTS and EDS diagnoses.  Hard to believe.
