Treatments

Right now I’m doing the Vest 3-4 times a day, while simultaneously using my Flutter. Three days a week I also have a therapist come to my house for CPT.

Exercise

Elliptical – 30-40min every day (while watching Dexter or Homeland)
I throw in some squats, bicep curls and ab exercises in between. I’m definitely still working my way up to the full work-out and training that I used to be able to do.
