Informing the nurse from Bayside my history of stoke during my nursing session with Sally

I began my Tuesday morning at 6:00 a.m. by going out into the kitchen to drink my hot cocoa while eating my ceareal with a toasted english muffin. Once I had finished eating I then went back to my bedroom to brush teeth and take an air flo reading. The numbers for my first reading were 470 490, 500. At 6:30 I then began to do my weight exercises. both leg and arm. At 7:00 I then began to do my stretching. As I was stretching United showed up. My first appointment wasn't until 10:00 a.m. The other client in the area I guess had to be at WestSide for 9:00. So the driver went to pick Donald up and gave me a chance to get ready. He was then back to pick me up at 8:15. Off to WestSide we went. We arrived at WestSide at 9:25. Once inside I went downstairs to the kitchen to put my lunch in the refrigerator. While down there I had emptied one of the dishwashers thus putting away clean dish's. At 10:00 I then went to Finding Meaning Group. Doug and I first checked in with Jennifer the intern who was coordinating the group. Todays discussion was about How supportive others are of us and how the things they say can be hurtful. We also discussed areas of growth and weakness.We then talked about key values and what five words best describe how our life is going. At 11:00 I then went to the kitchen to eat half of my lunch. At 11:30 I then had a nursing session with sally. The nurse from Bayside was there too. We talked about my medical history of stroke. Sally then took my blood pressure. At 12:30 I then went to the dining area to finish eating my lunch before going home with the United Wheelchair driver Larry. I had arrived home at 1:45. I had gone straight to my bedroom to lay down to rest. I was so tired I had slept until 4:15. Once I was up I began doing my weight exercises. At 5:15 I then began to do my stretching. At 5:30 I then took a shower before eating my dinner with my parents. Once I had finished eating I took in the laundry off from the clothing line. I then took another air flo reading. 490, 480, 510. At 7:10 I took a pill I was prescribed for my headache before sitting down to blog.
