1. Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • No doctors or therapy. It is a tradition that I always clear my schedule the first week of school so my body only has to work through school and nothing else the first week. Next week, it’s back to reality for this zebra. Fingers crossed.
  • I napped everyday. Thank God. I was BEAT.

I feel like I just typed one of these! Please slow down, last bit of summer. PLEASE.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT. Two days after vacation. I felt EVERY bite of ice cream.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab. A lot of treadmill, recumbent bike, and strengthening.
  • I saw Larry on Tuesday for OMM. Back, ribs, neck, jaw. You know the drill.
  • I was back in Indiana on Wednesday for another TMJ therapy appointment. My mouth appliance was adjusted, and I received my sleep study results. NO apnea so I do not have to do any more sleep stuff! Woohoo! It said I had, “very mild snoring at times.” The recommendation? “Patient appears to be obese. Encourage weight loss.” Wellllll, I do want to lose 5 pounds ; ) The next step is an ENT appointment to talk surgery to fix my deviated septum.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT. Cardio, scap strengthening, and gentle manipulation on my neck.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab. High incline treadmill work and floor strengthening with light weights.
  • I had an OMM appointment on Thursday. My jaw and sacrum were dislocated so she spent the time working on getting me back into place.
