1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of PT.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab. Lots of cardio! I stepped it up a few notches.
  • 1 OMM appointment to put my bendy body back together.
  • I made an appointment with a new primary care doc. Fingers crossed!

I’ve been on vacation all week in Saugatuck with my family…Playing catch up now!

1. Medical Stuff:

  • No PT since I was away.
  • I did one day of Home Rehab. Then my back decided to flare like crazy and I spent the rest of the week trying to calm it down with Ibuprofen, rest, ice, and my massage pillow.
  • Vacation sleep is amazing sleep. It was the first week all summer I have slept really, really well.

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.

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.

Happy May…which means Happy Ehlers-Danlos and Vasculitis Awareness Months!

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • I traveled to Toledo, OH on Monday to see one of my POTS specialists, Dr. Bev.  More about that soon.
  • I traveled to Mishawaka, IN on Thursday for prolotherapy injections. More to come on that too.
  • 3 Days of Home Rehab.
