1. Medical Stuff:

• I felt SO much better this week. Thank you, antibiotics!
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Treadmill, Recumbent Bike, and floor strengthening exercises.
• 1 Day of PT. Elliptical, treadmill, and many foam roll exercises.
• I saw Larry on Tuesday. My ribs were a mess, but were finally behaving once Larry worked on me…Sometimes I think my ribs really hate me : )

Happy August, friends! I have to admit, my reaction to August is always mixed; I know there is still more fun and relaxation to be had, but I also know that life will soon go back to the “fast” pace that is often hard for me as a zebra at the end of the month…Sooooo, I am working hard on living in the moment, and not projecting.  Easier said than done, but I am trying!

For the foundation, Gympalooza is coming up on August 23rd! You can check out the FREE event here:

Anyways,

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 day of PT. The usual drill. Lots of cardio and strengthening and I ended with cranial OMM.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• Had my six month cleaning at the dentist. Still no cavities at 32. Trying to keep the streak going!

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of Home Rehab.
• Lots of DC walking. Does that count as rehab? : ) I have a feeling my therapists would say no…
• No PT or doctors since I was gone.
• It was an insomnia week. Hoping to get my sleep back on track ASAP.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. Lots of cardio, strengthening, and cranial. Revisited the conversation again about how much PT is best for me. I still don’t know if we have an answer. It’s been nearly 4 years, and I’m still learning.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 OMM appointment for cranial, neck, and jaw.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• I had my July appointment with Larry. Lots of cranial, neck, and upper back OMM.
• Tuesday I went to U of M for my yearly Gastroparesis check up. I was given an EKG because I am on Domperidone, and everything looked good. My doc wants me to have the Hydrogen Breath Test (because of my flares) which is to check to make sure I have the good kind of bacteria in my stomach. I am also to return in six months for a check up and a meeting with their nutritionist.
