Dealing with others

I began my Wednesday morning at 6:30 a.m. by going out into the kitchen to drink my hot cocoa while my mother had whipped me up a bowl of hot cereal and toasted english muffin for breakfast. Once I had finished eating I then went back to my bedroom to brush my teeth before doing my weight exercises, but first I had put my laundry away. At 7:30 I then began to do my stretching routine. At 8:00 I then went to the wash room to start a load of laundry. Once the wash was going, I then went upstairs to wash dish's and pick up the kitchen. Once I had taken my shower, I then went to the wash room to get the laundry to hang out to dry. Once the laundry was hung I then gathered my lunch and my napsack before going to the door to wait for United Wheel Chair to arrive. Sam was the driver who picked me up this morning. Sam kept me awake the entire ride. Upon my arrivel to WestSide I first went down to the kitchen to put my lunch in the refrigerator. I then scooted over to the gym for my 11:00 a.m. P.T. appointment with Dan. It is great that the dining area and the gym are on the same floor. During my P.T. session with Dan he started by taking my blood pressure. 110 over 76. After twelve minutes and six seconds on the tredmill Dan took my blood pressure again this time it was 106 over 76. I then continued walking until I hit fourteen minutes and twenty-eight seconds Dan then took my blood pressure again. 110 over 80. Dan then had me doing a balance exercise. While standing on an hirex cushion. Dan then had me standing on the floor doing the same exercises to help with my balance. I then went to the dinning area to eat my lunch with other clients. Once I had finished eating I went to support group in the conference room at 1:00. Denise, Tod, Tina, Pete, Dee Dee, and I first read the recovery card to start the group. We then went over the rules of the group. One of the the rules is, What is said in group stays in group. We then discussed issues surrounding week 12's topic with Deb, Lori, and Jill. "Dealing with others." Activities that help structure your time. We also discusse, who do you use as a support system? ie. WestSide, Friends, Family, Coworkers ect. We then gave a positive statement at the end of the group. I then went home with United Wheelchair. I arrived home at 3:15. Once inside I went strait to my bedroom to begin doing my stretching and weight exercises. After doing so I went downstairs to ride the swin airdine for twenty minutes. I then went out to the kitchen to eat dinner with my parents before going to my bedroom to do my daily blog.
