I began my morning as usual this on this Wednesday at 4:30 by doing my stretching and weight exercises for an hour. I then made my way to the kitchen to eat my breakfast. Once I had finished eatin, I then went downstairs to ride the swin air dine for a half an hour. I then continued to get myself ready to go to WestSide. United Wheelchair soon arrived to take me there for a 9:00 a.m. voc meeting. Upon my arrivel I meet Vicky Thibeau my voc councelor in the lobby. Who had no idea that I had even had a stroke going into this meeting. She new I had a ski accident and a concussion. Once in the meeting vicky my voc counsilor, Nancy my o.t. from WestSide and Ashanti my casemanager went to the conference room for our meeting. Once we had sat down I immediatly had told Vicky I had a stroke. Just as she was getting ready to pull out the plan for me to sign to start job planning again. I then proceded to let her know I am in no shape or form ready to begin emplyment. My theropy now is my main focus. So we started to talk about different avenus. Like indipendent living. This would entail switching over from Vicky to whoever is in charge of the indipendent living for the division of the blind. I said I would talk it over with Nancy first. Once my voc meeting had ended at 10:00 I had meet Amanda in the lobby. She and I then went to the gym for my P.T. session. Amanda first had me riding the bike for 30 minutes. She then had me standing in the parallel bars with my arms crossed looking left, right, up, down, forward. I had lost my balance more then once but I am getting better. At 10:55 after my p.t. session I went into the room across from the gym to rest. I had that hour off for a rest and lunch. At 12:00 I then had my speech seeion with Diana. today we went into Johns's office so that Diana could monitor my breathing. John is a cota who works mainly on relaxation technniques with clients, so you can immagine how his office is set up. Recliner, bed, desk, computer the works. Today was actually the first day I saw it, since I had started Westside August 18th. At 1:00 Sam from United took me home. Upon my arrivel home at 2:10 I jumped on the swin air dine for fifteen minutes. At 2:30 I then stretched. At 3:30 I then I then lied down to rest. I slept for 90 minutes before getting up to get comfortable for the night. At 5:30 I sat down to eat dinner. My mother had made a stuffed pumpkin. At 6:00 my sister had arrived to spend the night. She has a meeting in Bangor. Comming from Scarborough will make it a shorter trip tomorrow morning. And it gave me some time to spend with her. I soon then went to bed.
