This one is gonna be short and sweet. I have a to-do list the size of an elephant.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 Day of home rehab and no PT. Definitely not enough. Feeling it in my joints.
  • No eye twitch (Henry) in a week! Ear acupuncture is magical!
  • I saw my shrink on Thursday. As always, that hour helped me breathe better and see things more clearly. Love my mental health time.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 3 Days of Home Rehab: Recumbent Bike, and floor strengthening.
  • Zero doctors and zero physical therapy (my therapist is away right now).
  • I am officially scheduled to see Dr. Lavallee in July! It will be my first time seeing him since he moved from South Bend to York, PA. The road trip will be a lot but I am confident it will be worth it. That man is one of my heroes.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 2 Days of Home Rehab. No PT this week.
  • I had OMM on Thursday for my neck and upper back. My ribs are definitely being stubborn lately about staying put, but my doctor was able to work them back into place. Now, if I could just figure out how to keep them there! (I know, I know. More strengthening).
  • I got a wiggle seat! My physical therapist recommended it; especially for long car rides. It keeps me moving, so my joints don’t stiffen up as much, and it helps with posture, while making me use my core more.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 1 day of PT. I met another patient with EDS!
  • 1 class of Zumba. An hour and a half of Zumba with Denise is no joke.
  • 1 day of home rehab.
  • I was supposed to go to Mishawaka (IN) to get prolo shots on Thursday but had to cancel because of weather. I’m rescheduled for Friday so fingers crossed that the weather cooperates.
