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.

February! Whoa!

1. Medical Stuff:

  • This was one of those weeks I felt like I lived at the doctor.
  • 1 Day of PT. Planks, planks, and more planks.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab. I upped my treadmill incline this week.
  • I saw my psychiatrist on Tuesday. In 15 years, I can honestly say I have always left his office able to breathe so much better. Tuesday was no different. I told him he is never, ever allowed to retire. We changed my meds a bit, and I will be seeing him bi-weekly for the time being. I am always reminded after those appointments that working on my mental health is just as important as working on my physical health.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 day of PT. I met another patient with EDS!
  • 1 class of Zumba. An hour and a half of Zumba with Denise is no joke.
  • 1 day of home rehab.
  • I was supposed to go to Mishawaka (IN) to get prolo shots on Thursday but had to cancel because of weather. I’m rescheduled for Friday so fingers crossed that the weather cooperates.

What. A. Week.

Not in a bad sense whatsoever…It was just a bit crazy at times, extremely busy, and quite magical.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • No PT.
  • 2 workouts at the Michigan Athletic Club (My teaching partner gave me a 7 day “friends and family” pass so Allie and I lived it up at the MAC on Monday and Tuesday).
  • No doctors (2 weeks in a row. That must be some kind of RECORD).
  • I have started sleeping again (Knock on wood). Crazy how a break can help with that.
