1. Medical Stuff:

• 4 Days of Home Rehab. Lots of treadmill, and floor work (joint strengthening).
• I saw Larry on Tuesday for OMM and our monthly office date.  He told me I am going back to good ol’ Physical Therapy in September.  I told him I was managing pretty well on my own, but he reminded me of the shock my body is about to undergo with going back to school.  Knowing he was right, I just smiled and said, “Yes, Larry.”
• It was a stupid insomnia week.  There’s not much I hate in this world, but not being able to sleep is definitely one of them.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.  Elliptical, Pilates leg springs, and neck OMM.  I also spent some time on the TRX.  I have a major love-hate relationship going with that thing.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I had my 6 month cleaning at the dentist.  No cavities!
• I battled insomnia most of the week because of POTS, which of course then, meant increased POTS symptoms. Yesterday was better so I’m hoping the cycle has been broken for now. 

1.  Medical Stuff:

• I had a gyno appointment on Monday.  I told Max that this was an appointment I’m sure he didn’t want to shadow and film.  He agreed.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday.  I was in major need of some OMM, or as I like to call it, “Larry magic.” He worked from my neck to my tailbone.  I felt like a different person leaving the office.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• Physical Therapy was canceled because my physical therapist was sick.  Lots of sickness going around lately!
• No doctors appointments this week.
• I had major issues this week with my POTS flaring, and therefore insomnia.  Sometimes my heart rate gets so high that it feels like I am running a marathon when I should be sleeping.  Insomnia then makes my POTS worse and it ends up being a vicious cycle.  So needless to say, it has been harder to function this week, but I keep telling myself that like everything else, “This too shall pass.”

I feel like I’m in a blog slump.  I’m pretty sure it has to do with energy, or my lack thereof lately.   I’ve been sleeping like a fool lately when I get home from school.  I walk in the door.  I rehab.  And then this tiredness hits me like a brick.  It’s a tiredness that I’ve never experienced before this year of sickness.  In fact, I wish there was another word for it because I feel like “tired” or even “fatigue” does not do it justice.
