1.Medical Stuff:

• I had my 6 week postpartum appointment on Monday. Everything went well…I cleared for exercise. However, I left out the part that I’ve been exercising the last couple of weeks. Oops…did not know I had to wait for the green light.
• PT on Tuesday. An hour of exercise, a half hour of manual medicine, and 15 minutes of heat and electrical stim. I’ve missed the stim.
• One two mile walk with a pitbull. IN SUNSHINE.
• One Day of Home Rehab…better…still need to add 1-2 more days.

1. Medical Stuff:

• I made my return to PT after six weeks! My joints were a bit of a mess after labor and the break, so I was in desperate need of manual medicine.  I exercised for an hour as well…After the treadmill, I said to myself, “But did you die?” I did not, so I’d call the first day of my comeback a win ; )
• Now, how do I find time for the other days of home rehab? My next goal…

Oh, summer you are going far too fast…

1. Medical Stuff:

• Last infusion! (I don’t mean my hydration ones…I’m a lifer for those).
• PT. Changed it up. Elliptical instead of treadmill. Neck manipulation instead of rib manipulation.
• Acupuncture.
• OMM appointment. It had been since February. That’s pretty encouraging, but I needed to get back.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Lots of OMM on the good ol’ neck and jaw. Light strengthening. Stim.
• Walked in the neighborhood 5 out of seven days.
• Infusion on Thursday. Probably the fastest one I ever had.
• Acupuncture on Wednesday. First time I did not fall asleep.
• More blood work. How do I have any left?!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. As hard it was, I admitted to my PT I needed to take it easy. I could tell it was one of those days that if I pushed, I would be in trouble. So we did more OMM, more heat, and more stim.
• Every night this week, Brad and I walked a mile and a half. It was our goal at the beginning of the week and we did it. Spring weather just makes life so much easier.
• Blood draw. All good.
• Home Infusion. Ceiling fan…hanger…bag of meds…All good.
• Saw my shrink on Thursday. This is a year I have felt pretty broken. He is the most amazing man in helping me figure out the pieces, and understand which ones I want to pick up and put back together.
