I’m way late…It’s Christmas week…I’ve been with family which means zero regrets…

1. Medical Stuff:

• 37 Week Check. No signs I’m going anytime soon. Once again, we have an active one! This time, the word, “twirling” was used.
• I’ve been doing a lot of liquids lately because my belly just feels like it cannot fit one more thing…sucks because of all of the holiday goodies, but I’d rather be somewhat comfortable than feel like my insides are gonna burst.
• No other appointments.

I’ve been on vacation…sweet, sweet vacation, so here is my up north version…

1. Medical Stuff:

• NO appointments. First time all summer.
• I joined a gym in Suttons Bay for the week to get my rehab done. I went three days, and each day completed 45 minutes of cardio, 15 minutes of strengthening, and 5 minutes of stretching. I was planning on going our last morning there, but my brother in law made everyone a huge breakfast that morning so the food won out…obvi.

1. Medical Stuff:

Quieter week, medically.

• 1 Day of PT.
• 3 HARD Home Rehab days. I’m loving the incline work. Feel the burnnn.
• 1 acupuncture hour.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Back at it in PT. I spoke too soon last week. My ribs have decided to give me fits.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. AKA three miles in the neighborhood and strengthening exercises in my living room.
• Weekly acupuncture and infusion. Sometimes managing my health seems like really hard work. This was on of those weeks.

1. Medical Stuff:

• Sucked at rehab this week. Packing up my classroom zapped me. Must do better!
• 6 month dental cleaning. No cavities!
• Acupuncture and infusion. The usual.
• I established with a new rheumatologist on Wednesday. My PCP is leaving and I need someone to act as a “gatekeeper” for my EDS. Went really well!
