Welcome Spring Party at WestSide

I began my Tuesday morning at 5:30 a.m. by stretching to losen up my muscles. At 6:30 I then went to the kitchen to eat my breakfast. Once I had finished eating I then went back to my room to get ready for my day ahead, and what a long day ahead indeed. At 8:30 United arrived to bring me to WestSide. Upon my arrivel for my 10:00 a.m. appointment with Jennifer one of the neouropsych interns during finding meaning group. Doug started off by telling Jennifer and I how he was bit by a dog over the weekend. Jennifer then had Doug and I doing a life planning worksheet where he and I assessed the quality of our lives rating each situation 1 through 10. We then discussed it. At 11:00 I had a half hour break, so I went down to the dining area to eat part of my lunch. At 11:30 I then had my nursing session with Sally. Sally first took my blood pressure which was 126 over 82 I then took an air flo reading while in there with her. 440, 450, 440. I then went to the kitchen to finish my lunch. At 12:30 I then went to aquasize group with John and Michelle. John has me wait to get into the pool at the half way point of the group. Once I was in I did some stretching then John then had float on the noodle. After todays group John will be taking me out of the group. He feels I could benefit my time elsewhere in theropy. Because since my stroke I can not tolerate the cold water and it causes me to stiffen. Therefore it not being beneficial to be in the group. Once I arrived back to WestSide from aquasize I got ready for the Special Event, "WELCOMING SPRING!" At 3:30 we first made bird feaders by using a pine cone pasting peanutbutter on it then rolling it around in birdseed hung by a piece of yarn. Tobie then passed out Develed eggs. At 4:00 we painted teracotta pots. When it was dry we planted a seed in them. Tobie then had us playing hang man; Greg, Arnie, Diana and I. Spring flowers was the theme. We then played Taboo. At 5:00 we all went downstairs to eat dinner. We had pasta salas, tuna and egg finger rolls. While we were eating John drew on the dry erase baord pictures which when sounding them out made a word or sentence. At 5:30 once we had finished eating they passed around butterscotch and chocolate haystacks with candy eggs in the middle for dessert. We then all went home at 6:00. I arrived home at 7:00 took my shower, sat down to blog I then called it a day at 8:00 p.m. Good Night!
