exercising with Amanda during p.t.

I began my Monday morning at 4:30 a.m. by none other then stretching and lifting those weights. At 5:20 I then made my way downstairs to ride the swin air dine for a half an hour. Once I had taken my shower and was ready for my day ahead, I then went to the kitchen to eat my brealfast. Mom had made toast to dunk in my hot cocoa. United Wheel Chair soon arrived at 7:15 to take me to WestSide for a 9:00 a.m. p.t. appointment with Amanda. Once I had arrived at westSide Amanda had meet me in the lobby. Together we then went to the Gym. Amanda first had me ride the bike for twenty minutes. She and I then went in the parallel bars leg raises. Amanda stood on one side and I stood on the other. We were perfectly in sinc with one another. Once we had done leg raises forward, backward, and to the side we then did some squats. She did these with me. At 10:00 I then went into the treatment room across from the gym to rest for 45 minutes. I then spent the last fifteen minutes eating my lunch. At 11:00 I then had speech with Diana. We first worked on snearing on the side of my mouth with facial droop. Diana then had me sound out some tongue twisters, really exagerating the sounds. She had then mentioned to me cutting my time to a half an hour unless there was something I could think of that we could focus on that we already haven't yet worked on. I had mentioned to her I have been having a hard time breathing. Not so much when I am exercising, but when I am just standing around. She said there is something we can do. She then gave me passages to read at home so as to exagerate sounds with my mouth as I pronounce the words. I then left for home. I arrived home at 1:00. Once inside I had popcorn and some ice water for a snack before lying down to rest at 1:30. I slept for two hours before getting up to stretch and then ride the swin air dine for fifteen minutes. At 5:00 I then ate dinner with my parents. At 6:40 I then called my grandmother. At 6:50 I went to my bedroom so that I could do my daily blog before going to bed.
