1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Because of all of my sciatic pain, I will now be going twice a week. Fun, fun…as long as it helps.
• 3 Home Rehab workouts. I got mad at my body so I pushed it hard. Makes sense, huh? Sometimes, I’m not the smartest but I wanted to show myself I could still work out hard. The struggle is real.
• 1 Shrink appointment.
• I made a prolo appointment. Time can go a little faster. I’m so ready.

1. Medical Stuff:

• I saw my shrink on Tuesday. Growth. Breathing. Perspective. GROWTH.
• I had my pre-op at my ENT for my nose surgery coming up next Wednesday. I also had labs drawn for it, and the over-the-phone pre-op with one of the surgical nurses. I’m pretty sure this will NOT be the highlight of my summer. Let’s just get this over with, shall we?
• 1 Day of PT. Back at it after recovering from NYC! 4 cardio miles, lots of strengthening in a core circuit, stim, heat, and OMT.

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 PT. It was after field day so I had been running around in the sun for three hours. I had to suck up my pride and admit that it was probably best if we did heat, stim, and OMT only. That’s really hard to do sometimes.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• No doctors. I am trying to keep my schedule clear these last weeks of school, because I have learned from other years how hard the end of the year is on my body. Maybe I do get a teeny-tiny bit smarter with age…it’s all about pacing… ; )

Happy Cinco de Mayo! I am celebrating by pretending my Miralax/Gatorade mixture is a Margarita! Oh, EDS, you are so fun sometimes!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 day of PT. The usual.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. The usual.
• Still navigating our new insurance. It feels like a full time job at times. Ugh.
• I saw my OMT doc. My ribs and head needed much love. Our goal was to get me headache free before I left. I did feel better so I took that as a win.
