Whoa. It’s been a while. Thought I’d drop a line and let you know five things that have been keeping me busy during this quarantine…72 days of quarantine so far to be exact.

1. I obtained the secret recipe for pumpkin bars. It has always been my favorite treat. I would bring it for my birthday in elementary school every year. Well, I got the recipe and baked those bad boys. The actual pumpkin bar tasted exactly the same as the OG but I quickly realized the frosting was too runny and needed some thickening.

1. Medical Stuff: A week full of appointments!

• Infusion.
• Acupuncture.
• Gynecologist.
• PT. My PT worked her magic on my ribs. When I left, they were SO much better.
• Lab work.
• Sat in my OMT doc’s office for 45 minutes until I realized my appointment is next week.
• 3 Days of Home rehab! I kicked a$$ this week on exercising. Must keep truckin’!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! I am celebrating by pretending my Miralax/Gatorade mixture is a Margarita! Oh, EDS, you are so fun sometimes!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 day of PT. The usual.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. The usual.
• Still navigating our new insurance. It feels like a full time job at times. Ugh.
• I saw my OMT doc. My ribs and head needed much love. Our goal was to get me headache free before I left. I did feel better so I took that as a win.

I am officially on break! Time to rest, recover, and enjoy family. Very needed…and very grateful to have the next two weeks off.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Electrical stim has been a wonderful thing for my neck lately.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Big focus on scap firing exercises.
• No doctors!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Neck flare, but electrical stim and heat took the edge off.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Treadmill & strengthening exercises.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday. I had stomach acupuncture while he did gentle manipulations on my first rib up to my C1. He put in the leave in acupuncture needles in my belly. Last time, they lasted exactly one week. We will see this time…
• I saw Dr. Rosen after my Larry appointment. It seriously is the best combination of doctor appointments…I work on my body, and then go work on my mind. Ahhhhh. I am so grateful for both of them in my life. Cannot say it enough.
