I hate being sick

Well, it's been a little over a week since my last visit. We ended up not doing my wrist this time, I have to go tomorrow (Friday) and get some x-rays first. I wondered why, but the more I thought about it the more it made sense. It would be good to make sure all those bones and stuff are where they should be before trying to stab them with a needle. I was kind of glad when I thought about it that way.

But anyway, the visit went well. I was sick with a stopped up nose and a very sore throat, but Dr. B did some muscle tests and said he thought it would be okay to go ahead and do the prolo. I was kind of worried he wouldn't do it...I didn't mention the sore throat for that reason. But we did my back (about 20 something times) and my pubic bone (about 5 or 6 times). It was really painful, but I made it through okay.

I knew that after the treatment I would get even more sick, since it completely destroys my immune system (small price to pay), but I underestimated it. My ears started bothering me and I ended up with a really bad ear infection. I had my uncle call in a antibiotic and I've been on that for a while. My ears are getting better slowly, but the day before yesterday I forgot to take it a few times (I have to take it every 3 hours), now I've got a bad cough. But I'm hoping that it will all clear up soon and not get into my lungs any worse.

One thing Dr. B is wanting me to get checked out is my fast pulse. It was 116 when I went in for the visit, which is a little lower than it is when I work out a lot. I wasn't nervous, so I don't know why it was that high, I was actually very tired. My resting pulse is around 100 most of the time though, so he wants me to go to a cardiologist and just see why. It won't cause any problems now, but in the long run he's afraid it might not be good. The funny thing is that we've been taking it at home now and it's been in the 80's and 90's, when it used to be in the 100's. Not sure what happened there, but I guess it's good!


One cool thing is that Pro-therapy called and they wanted Dr. B's information (it's the place I did physical therapy last time and where I go to the gym). We also gave some information to my aunt for her mom. I'm really glad Pro-therapy in interested in it though. I hope they can spread the word, someone's life can change.

I've got about two more visits before I leave for college, then I can only go during breaks. I'm not sure how that's going to go, and I don't know how I feel about it. I have this weird thing about even moving an appointment back a few days... my guess is that I don't like it because the idea is that the more treatments I get the better everything will get. So when we wait it means less time for treatments and less progress. That's just my best guess, I'm honestly not sure why I feel that way, but that sounds pretty good. But I waited 5 years, I can do a little more if I need to. I'm just hoping maybe we can do both wrists these next two times, that would help a lot before I have to leave, and it would make me feel better.

But we'll see. No pictures this time, I think we covered that with the last visit.
