I began my Wednesday morning at 5;00 a.m. by stretching, doing my weight exercises, and riding the swin air dine for thirty minutes. Once my exercise routine was finished, I then ate my breakfast before showering and getting ready for my day ahead. United arrived at 8:30 to transport me to WestSide. Upon my arrivel, I began my theropy with a p.t. session with Amanda in the gym. Amanda first had me on the bike for fifteen minutes. She then had me doing some upper extremedy activity. I was using five pound weights stretching my arms in every direction imaginable. Amanda then gave me a pick to put on the bottum of my cane so as to dig into the ice so I don't slip. At 11:00 Tobie covered for Nancy during my O.T. session. We first did wii ski racing. While doing so I experienced some breathing problems. Tobie was a bit shocked. She has not worked with me since before my stroke. I then did some perse breathing to help get the situation under control.Pers breathing is where you breath in though your nose and out slowly through your mouth. Then to end the session she had me doing some wii golf. At 12:00 I then went to the kitchen to eat my lunch with other clients. At 1:00 I went to the confrerence room for support group with Deb. This week I was able to share a little more on my weekly struggles and frustrations while dealing with my stroke. After support group, I left for home. Upon my arrivel home at 3:00 I immediatly got on the swin for thirty minutes. At 3:45 I then began to do my stretching exercises, then my weight exercises. At 4:42 I then took a shower before sitting down to eat dinner. I then sat down to blog before calling it a day.
