Discussing job possibilities with Jennifer in Finding meaning group

I began my Tuesday morning at 5:30 a.m. by stretching in my bedroom and doing my weight exercises in my bedroom. At 6:50 I then made my way to the kitchen to eat my breakfast. This morning I had a bowl of oatmeal and toasted bread. At 7:00 I then went to my bedroom to take my shower and get ready for the day ahead. at 7:30 I then took an air flo reading. 440, 420, 490. At 7:45 I then completed the medication sheet the westSide Nursing staff likes to have completed every six months. Just so as to keep their records up to date on what each client is taking for medication. I then gathered my bags to bring down to the door so as to wait for United Wheelchair to pick my up. Upon my arrivel to WestSide for 10:00 a.m. I began my theropy with Finding Meaning Group with Jennifer who is a neouropsychologist intern. Today we talked a little on death and anxiety. We also talked about employment and or jobs we are interested in doing. Doug had mentioned about being a clown. Along the lines of entertianer. Jennifer would like him to research this week to bring back to the group information about his idea. My assignment is to draw a diagram on my interests. From 11:00-11:30 I had a break. I first went out into the lobby to sign up for this months event on Tuesday March 20th from 3-6 p.m. The title of the event is Think Spring. At 11:30 I then had my nursing session with Sally. We first checked my blood pressure. We then discussed setting up an appointment at Dartmouth with the stroke doctor. At 12:00 I then went to the dinning area to eat my lunch. Once I had finished eating I then went to the lobby to wait to go to the YWCA for aquasize. I rode over with John. Once we were there John and Michelle had us change into our swim suits. I then used my inhaler. Once in the pool area John had me sit down on the bench for the first half of group so not to spend to much time on my feet. Hopfully to prevent any of the breathing episodes. Once I was in the pool I first did some stretching with John, Michelle and the other clients: leg raises, extensions, and leg kicks.John then had me floating on a noodle so as to keep me from putting any pressure on my legs. After Aquasize we went back to WestSide. United then took me home. I arrived home at 4:15. I immediatly put my night clothing on. I then took an air flo reading. 460, 500, 490. I then started to type my blog. At 5:10 I went to the kitchen to eat dinner. Tonight my parents had cooked a pork roast, mm mm. Once I had finished eating I then went to my bedroom to finish typing my blog. before I posted it I took another air flo reading. 450, 500, 460.
