1. Medical Stuff:

• One Day of PT. No exercise. Just OMT and LOTS of heat and stim to get me travel ready because of my angry, spasming ribs.
• One MASSAGE to calm down my angry, spasming ribs.
• One appointment with my OMT doc to work on my angry, spasming ribs. Are you seeing a pattern, here?

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of Home Rehab. That is it. I was in survival mode.
• Sleeping like crap. Happens at the end of the year every year.

1. Medical Stuff:

• It was one of those EDS weeks where my body felt like with one wrong move, it would crumble…but I made it through with a lot of heating pad action.
• 1 Day of PT. I added some arm exercises and am wondering if it is flaring up my neck. Blah.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab. Treadmill intervals and strengthening.
• 1 needed OMM appointment. LOTS of cranial and rib work.
• It was back to Toledo on Thursday to see Dr. Grubb and (mostly Bev) or my 6 months POTS check up. It went well; pretty much a maintenance appointment for meds, hydration infusions, and an order for an echo. It was awesome to have Bev back after she had been out for a while with her own medical issues. AND I was seen in RECORD time. My appointment was at 1:30 and I was done by 3:00. That NEVER happens.

1. Medical Stuff:

• I started my week at the eye doctor with pink eye. What the heck? My second eye infection in a month. The doctor called it “flukey.” Twelve years teaching germy kids and I’ve never had pink eye. Anyways, I’m back on the drops.
• 1 Day of PT. Mostly cardio and rib OMM.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, recumbent bike, balance work, small weights, and scap strengthening.
• I saw a new primary care doc on Thursday. It has been really hard for me to find a PCP that gets my “big picture” so fingers crossed this will work out.
• I saw my OMM doc today. She worked a lot on my left first rib, and inside my mouth on my jaw.

1. Medical Stuff:

• No doctors…AGAIN.
• 1 Day of PT. I was in a lot of pain with my ribs so I didn’t get too exercise in much. Blah…: (
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• Like I said, my good ol’ ribs gave me fits this week. I have my heating pad out.
