Don't count the days, make the days count.

My one year anniversary since the day I had my stroke
I began my Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. by going out into the kitchen to eat toasted homemade breads for breakfast. Once I had finished eating I then went back into my bedroom to brush my teeth. Once I had done so I then began to do my stretching routine. At 8:00 I then went downstairs to ride the swin air dine for thirty minutes. At 8:30 I then put the laundry away that had been drying downstairs. Once I had done so, I then had started another load of laundry. Once I had taken my shower I then hung the laundry to dry. After doing so. United Wheelchair arrived to bring me to theropy. I arrived at WestSide at 10:45 for my 11:00 a.m. P.T. appointment with Dan. Dan started the session by taking my blood pressure. 110 over 79. I then did fifteen minutes on the Nu Step. After going .85 miles and burning 65 calories Dan then took my blood pressure once again. This time it was 112 over 80. Once we were finished with the Nu Step, Dan then strapped some ankle weight on me and he had me in the parallel bars doing leg raises. Dan then switched it up a little taking off the ankle weights and having me stand on the Rocker Board testing out my balance. Which is not all that great. Before ending the session Dan had mw walking. At 12:00 I then went to the dining area to eat my lunch, with Kay and her helper Theresa. Once I had finished eating I then wen upstairs to the conference room for support group. Today Dee Dee, Todd, Denise, Tina, and I first read the Recovery card with Deb and Nancy. Denise then went around the table to say all of our names. It is a goal of Denises to remember from week to week everyones name. Some of the questions that were up for discussion today were: In what daily activity in your life do you have control? In what situation do you sometimes feel sorry for yourself? How can you feel good enough when you need support? What do you do in order to feel o,k.? After support group I then left for home. I arrived home at 3:45. I went straight to my bedroom to begin doing my weight exercises and stretching. At 4:40 I then took my shower before going to the kitchen to eat chowder for dinner. At 5:15 I then went to my bedroom to do my daily blog. Oh I did want to mention one thing, I t was a year ago today exactly at 5:00 p.m. I had my stoke, and since then I have come a long way on this road towards recovery.
