1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. I had a really rough weekend of rib subluxations, stomach flu, and migraines from EDS neck pain so when I arrived to therapy, I had had it. I immediately burst into tears…It’s been a while since that happened but my amazing therapist was able to calm me (and my pain) down with a stern pep talk about pacing and listening to my body, cranial therapy, and rib OMM.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, balance work, and floor exercises.
• I have been trying to drink more and more water. I have been feeling so dehydrated lately which does not help my POTS issues.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I was supposed to have PT on Tuesday but when I showed up, I was told to go home due to having a fever and a sinus infection.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday before my scheduled therapy appointment. I had been feeling yucky so when the nurse told me I had a fever, I was not surprised. In addition to having the usual cranial and back OMM, Larry also wrote me a prescription to take care of my sinus infection. I am happy to say I am feeling much, MUCH better now.

Dear Family, Friends, Supporters, and Fellow Zebras,

Finally!

After months, and days, and hours, and hours…and more hours of planning, we are finally ready to launch ticket sales for our 3rd Annual, “An Evening with Chris Trapper and Tony Lucca to Benefit Invisible Illness Awareness and Research.”

There have been many meetings so far.  So many triumphs.  So many acts of kindness and generosity.  So many emails.  And yes, even a few frustrations and tears along the way.  I have learned that just goes with the territory.

Two years ago, the dream was born for Allie and me. 

1. Medical Stuff:

• All PT was on my own this week.
• 3 Days of Home Rehab. I hate side planks. Just putting that out there.
• I had my annual pulmonary function testing done this week. My test results showed all was clear.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Snowmageddon and the Polar Vortex cancelled PT.
• I got in 3 days of Home Rehab.
• I had prolotherapy Friday morning. (Post to come).
• I saw the gyno Friday afternoon and scared the nurses because my heart rate was over 200 sitting. I am wondering if it was a response to being in pain from the prolo? Right now, I still have quite a bit of pain, but my heart rate is 70. Having POTS is so strange. You never know what your body is going to do. SIDENOTE: Remind me not to schedule other appointments on prolo days. Not sure what I was thinking on that one…
