working on ways to strengthen my lip during speech to help prevent a facial droop

I began my Monday morning at 4:00 a.m. by doing my stretching exercises. At 5:30 I then went down stairs to ride the swin air dine for thirty minutes. At 6:00 I then went upstairs to eat my breakfast. Once I had finished eating I then continued to get ready for my day ahead. Once I had taken my shower and I was tatally ready, I then grabbed my lunch thus waiting for United Wheelchair to pick me up to go to WestSide. Upon my arrivel at 8:30 I had a half an hour to kill before my p.t. session with Amanda at 9:00, so I sat in the lobby to wait. I was the first client to arrive this morning. Amanda to soon came to get me to start our session in the gym. She first had me riding the bike for fifteen minutes. Once I had finished riding the bike, Amanda then had me standing in the parallel bars doing leg extensions. She was on one side and I was on the other. She then had me doing leg raises within the parallel bars. Once I was finished with p.t. I then had a break at 10:00 for an hour. I then went into a treatment room that wasn't being used to rest. At 11:00 I then had my speech session with Diana. She first had done some icing to help with my faciol droop. We then went over some esercises I could do to help it. Some of which I had been doing on my own already. I then read to Diana my pooem I had written, "Riding to the top." Diana then had me ice my lip once again, she then had me practice snearing. At 1:30 I had arrived home thus going straight to bed, to rest. I had slept for two hours before getting up to stretch. At I went to the kitchen to have a snack while I spoke to a friend on the telephone. At 4:30 I then biked for fifteen minutes before taking my shower. I then ate dinner with my parents. After a piece of my mothers homemade bluerry apple pie I then went to my bedroom to blog.
