I am a roll model

I began my Wednesday morning at 5:00 a.m. by stretching my muscles. I then proceeded my workout at 5:30 with my weight exercises both leg and arm. At 6:15 I then went to the kitchen to eat my breakfast. I then returned to my bedroom to brush my teeth before going downstairs to ride the swin air dine for thirty minutes. Once doing so, I went back to my bedroom to take a shower and get ready for my day ahead. Once I had cleaned my bathroom, I then took an air flo reading. 450, 470, 440. I then gathered my things and went to the door to wait for United Wheel Chair to show up to take me to WestSide. Upon my arrivel for a 10:45 appointment to meet with Piper my case manager. At 11:00 I then went to the gym for my P.T. session with Dan. Today Dan first had me walking on the tred mill. I first walked 2.4 miles in three minutes and three seconds. Dan then increesed the speed at 2.6 and I continued to walk for ten minutes total. my blood pressure at the beginning of the workout was the same as it was when it ended. 110 over 70. Dan then strapped the gate belt around my waist and we took off walking. I walked 12 times around the lower level at WestSide. 1920 feet. We then went back into the gym to do balance exercises in the parallel bars. At 12:00 I then went into the kitchen to eat my lunch, with Kay, her aid Theresa and another client Paul. At 1:00 I then went up to the conference room for support group. Tod, Denise, Tina, Dee Dee and I Talked about week 22's topic "Setting Limits." While during our discussion one the clients mention, I want to be lide Troy. To recover as well as I have. It is funny how other clients who are stroke survivors at WestSide look up to me and use me as a roll model. Myself, I have to look higher to people who haven't had a stroke and ask myself, "Why did this even have to happen at all?" We then discussed why establishing limits is important and making others aware. At 2:00 I then left to go home. I arrived home at 3:15. Once inside I had talked to a friend on the telephone before taking a shower. I then sat down to eat dinner at 5:00. I called my friend Stacie to chat before typing my blog. I then took another air flo reading 450, 470, 600. I then called it a day.
