  • My thoracic is flared up. Busted out my heating pad and massager machine. My kid is getting heavier ; )

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 day of PT.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • Zero doctors. Two weeks in a row. Whoa.
  • I ended up taking Wednesday off. This was a down to the minute decision but after paying attention to my body’s “red flags” (more blood pooling, lots of fatigue, some throwing up, wacky heart rates and blood pressure) I decided it was best to give myself a rest and recovery day.

End of February, already? How in the world did that happen?!

  • Zero doctors.

1. Medical Stuff:

  •  1 Day of PT. I have new ab and shoulder work to add to my other exercises. It’s good to change it up every once in a while.
  • 1 Day of Home Rehab.
  • I was back to having a lot of POTS and insomnia problems. To be honest, it was a really rough week, with a few bad nights. It may be time to look at a couple of med changes.
  • I saw Larry on Monday for my monthly appointment. He used his “magic fingers” to do cranial and upper back OMM. That man has an amazing gift.
