What do you do when you need help? ASK
I began my Wednesday morning at 6:00 a.m. by doing my stretching for an hour and a half. I then went to the kitchen at 7:30 to drink my hot cocoa. Once my mother had left for work, I then began a load of laundry at 8:00 before eating my breakfast. Once I had finished eating I then went back to my bedroom to do my weight exercises. Once I had taken my shower and was all ready for my day ahead I then hung the laundry to dry. At 9:30 United arrived to transport me to WestSide. There I began my day at 11:00 a.m. with P.T. Amanda first had me doing the Nu Step for fifteen minutes. I went .92 miles and burned 79 calories. Once I had regained my energy back, Amanda then strapped the gate belt around me. Amanda then had me lunging back an forth, then side stepping, crossing one foot behind the other. Amanda had to catch me more then a couple of times using the gate belt. At 12:00 I then went to the dining area to eat my lunch with Paul and other clients around. Once I had finished eating, I then went upstairs to the conference room to have support group. During group Bill, Tod, Denise, Dee Dee, and I first read the recovery card with Deb and Jen. Tod then volenteered to read the objectives. We then started this weeks topic. Week nine, "Asking for Assistance." Some of the questions we discussed were; How and when do you ask for help with your daily routine? I remember when I was in the hospital I had to have everything done for. If I as so much tried to get out of bed on my own the bed alarm would go off. But I could not walk so asking for help was the only thing I could do. We then ended the group with each of us giving a positive statement. At 2:00 I then left to go home. Upon my arrivel home at 3:30 I took an air flo reading, 450, 460, 480. I then began to do my stretching and weight exercises until 4:40. Once I had finished exercising I then took a shower to get comfortable for the night. At 4:40 I then played words with friends for thirty minutes before sitting down to blog. I then went out to eat my dinner. Once I had finished eating I then took another air flo reading 470, 460, 470. I then went to bed.
