1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 PT session this week…my other appts were cancelled so I hit my exercises hard at home the best I could.
• Got my new compression stockings.  They are thick like a sweater! Takes “compression” to a whole new level. 
• Saw Dr. Cantieri for prolotherapy, Dr. Lavallee for EDS, and Dr. Halleran for POTS in Mishawaka/South Bend.
• Was prescribed topical Testosterone and a topical pain med that I had to get made at a compound pharmacy.
• Was prescribed Florinef for POTS.

1.  Medical Stuff:  2 days of PT this week, had T-9 and T-10 nerve block injections, saw Dr. Rosen, scheduled with Dr. Lavallee and the POTS cardiologist in South Bend.  

Forgive me, I’m a day late.  Had a yuck day yesterday-all hurricanes going at once; POTS, neck, Migraine, GI…Was on the massage pillow and heating pad most of the day and in bed at 8:30…Hopefully today will be a better day.


1.   Larry had me meet with a doctor from Minnesota who was in town for the weekend teaching at the MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine, Principles of Manual Medicine Course.  He spent an hour Sunday and an hour Monday doing visceral manipulations on me.  AND, his wife and daughter both have EDS! Visceral Manipulation is a type of gentle manipulation that helps relieve imbalances and restrictions in the interconnections between the motions of all the organs and structures of the body. (I took that from http://www.jeffreyburch.com/home/jb1/visceral_main.html).

Today I am thankful for friendships…all of the friendships I have had in my 29 years.  I am thankful for friends who are near and far.  I am thankful for friends who know what kind of day I am having when I say a simple “hello” when I pick up the phone. 

I am thankful for my gymnastics friends.  For my elementary and middle school friends.  For my Sexton friends.  For my Spartan friends.  For my Wexford friends.  For my neighbor friends.  For family friends.  For friends of friends.  For the friends who once were Brad’s friends but who now are OUR friends.
