Walking 1600 feet on the bottom level at WestSide during P.T. ten laps non stop an all time record!
I began my Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. bright eyed and bushy tailed walking into the kitchen to eat my breakfast. I barely had my eyes opened when sitting down at the kitchen table to eat my oatmeal and a glazed pastry. Once I had finished eating, I then went back to my bedroom to begin to stretch. I did so until 8:30. I then took my shower getting ready for my day ahead. At 9:15 I then took my first air flo reading of the day. 450, 490, 490. I then gathered my things and went to the door to wait for my ride. I arrived at WestSide Neourorehabilitation services at 11:00 a.m. just in time for my physical theropy appointment with Dan. Once in the gym, Dan first had me on the Nu Step. First Dan took my resting blood pressure 114 over 82. I then went twenty minutes on the Nu Step before Dan to my Working blood pressure which was 118 over 84. Dan then strapped a gait belt around my waist and we took off walking around the bottum level at WestSide. I had made ten laps around with Dan holding onto the gait belt. This averaged out to be 1600 feet. Once I had finished my walk with Dan, I then went in the gym to rest. Once I had caught my breath Dan had me in the parallel bars with two pound weight around my ankles doing leg raises. forward, backward, and to the side. once I was through with my P.T. session with Dan, I then went into the dinning area to eat my lunch with Randy, Mat, Dan, Denise, Tina, and Tobie. It was a small crowed today for some reason. Once I had finished eating I then went up to the conerence room to wait for support group to begin at 1:00. During support group; Denise, Tina, Dee Dee, and I first read the reacovery card together, John and Nancy then had us answering questions from week 15 Feeling about self. Some of the questions that were open for discussion were, What behaviors help you deny your injury? How do feelings about yourself effect your ability to interact with others? Oce I was done of support group I then left for home. I arrived home at 3:30. Immediatly going to my bedroom to stretch and do my weight exercises with my legs. At 4:20 I then took my shower before going to the kitchen to eat my dinner. Once I had finished eating I then went back to my bedroom to take an air flo reading. 460, 480, 440. I then sat down at my computer to do my blog. I then took another air flo reading, 490, 490, 490. I then called it a day.
