Friday the 13th!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. A lot of rib OMM and cranial work after cardio and strengthening.
• I’ve been doing various Beachbody exercise programs and I like the variety. I am figuring out how to modify as I go. So far, I have done 21 Day Fix Cardio, 21 Day Fix Pilates, and PiYO Sweat.
• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• I had a procedure done yesterday where I had to be put under. It went well. I am just SORE today, but will be back in action soon. Meanwhile I am getting in some good sleep and a lot of one-on-one time with my heating pad. HOT.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 OMT Appointment.
• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• 1 Day of PT. So much sweat!
• I finally had the septoplasty (my deviated septum was corrected) on Wednesday. After a year of various tests and discussing it, I pulled the trigger and went for it.
• Lots of fun recovery time for my nose. The first few days were no picnic, but life is getting much better day by day.

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 met with a new primary care doc, and I really liked her. This has been my missing link from my medical team for a while. I am optimistic she will be able to take over, AND she does OMM too. Bonus.
• 1 Day of PT. Elliptical, bike, small weights, foam roller, and OMM!
• 2 Days of Home rehab.
• I went to Indiana on Wednesday for a TMJ follow up. My specialty mouthpiece was adjusted and I had PROLOTHERAPY from a doc other than Dr. Cantieri. That was a first. Dr. Klauer did my jaw, upper neck, and inside my mouth. I wasn’t even that sore.

November! Time, slow down! Craziness!

Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. For the first time in a few weeks, I had good energy, so we went with it and I worked out HARD.
• No Home Rehab. That was a big fail this week.
• I had an OMM appointment on Monday. In my Halloween costume which was interesting since I went from school and totally forgot to bring clothes. It was interesting to be manipulated as Snow White.
• I had my monthly shrink appointment. Just so grateful for that man.
• I’m still having issues with my eyes. Right now, I am experimenting with just steroid drops (rather than antibiotic steroid drops) to see if it keeps the flare away. Sighh. My body loves medical mysteries.
• I slept a bit better this week. I am hopeful.
