visiting with my sister Barbara

I began my Thursday morning at 6:00 a.m. by going out into the kitchen to eat peanutbutter and honey on toast for breakfast. Once I had finished eating, I then went back to by bedroom to brush my teeth. I then began to do my weight exercises at 6:50, both leg and arm. At 7:00 I then began to do my stretching. I had stretched for fourty-five minutes before taking my shower, thus getting ready for my day ahead. I then gathered my things and brought them to the door. At 8:30 I then I then brought the load of laundry up from the wash room so that I could hang it out to dry. Sam from United wheel chair finally arrived at 9:30. Some how the schedule had been miscommunicated from WestSide to United for my appointment time, so I was little late upon arrivel. Once inside WestSide I began my day at 11:00 a.m. during my P.T. session with Dan. Dan first took my blood pressure 108 over 74. Dan then strapped the gate belt on and we went walking around the parking lot at WestSide. After four times around we went back inside to the gym. Dan then took my blood presssure once again. this time it was 104 over 70. Dan then had me doing standing exercises within the parallel bars. First I tried balancing on the square mat within the parallel bars with my arms crossed. Dan then had me look up, look right, look left, straight ahead, and so on. This is to work on my balance. He then strapped some weights to each leg before doing leg lifts back, forward, side, ect. Dan then took my blood pressure at the end of the session. This time it was 104 over 70. At 12:00 I then went into the dining area to eat my lunch before going home at 1:00 with Larry from United. I arrived home at 2:20, thus going right to bed once inside. Even though I had slept on the way home, I was still tired. I had slept until 5:00 before getting up to do my weight exercises. Once I had done so I then began to stretch. I had stretched for thirty minutes before taking another air flo reading. This time the numbers were450, 460, 450. I then took a walk up the driveway. Once I had done so I then went inside to take another air flo reading. 450, 490, 470. I then went inside to take a shower before eating dinner with my parents and sister. I then sat down to blog.
