During my P.T. session this morning, Audrey the P.T. student first had me on the mat where my knees and arms were supporting my body on the mat. I then proceded to do a balance exercize where I would raise opposite leg and opposite arm. This was more difficult when leaning on my right arm, the arm that was affected from the stroke, but it is getting stronger. She then placed cones around the gym. I was then to walk around with the gate belt on, so if I were to start to fall Audrey could stop me,while picking the cones up. She then had me standing as we passed a large theropy ball back and fourth. While doing so I would squat down on one leg, shifting my weight from side to side. This was working on leg strengthening. I then made my way back to my room ehere the nurse was there waitng to take my dayly vital signs.
