Going for my first run during P.T. with Amanda but I have to give Tracie credit, because it was her idea
I began my Thursday morning at 5:00 a.m. by stretching and doing my weight exercises. At 6:00 I then went to the kitchen to eat blueberry muffins my mother just made for breakfast.Once I had finished eating my breakfast, I then went to my bedroom to brush my teeth and put my lundry away. After doing so, I then continued to get ready for my day ahead. At 6:45 I then took an air flo reading; 450, 490, 460. United soon arrived an took me to WestSide. Upon my arrivel for my 10:30 counseling session with Dr. Brian Ablitz. Today discussion mainly was about stress dealing with my stroke. At 11:00 I then went to the gym for P.T. with Amanda. During P.T. Amanda strapped a gatebelt around my waist and had me standing in the parallel bars. You'll never guess what she had me doing next. You guessed it she had me RUNNING. I first started by holding on to both sides. I then ran for ten minutes. My breathing wasn't all that bad either. I then took a break before starting the next step of this well earned workout. Amanda then had me holding on with my left arm. which is my arm on the side not effected by the stoke. After running for ten minutes, you what the next step was, that is right running without holding on at all. I did that for fifteen minutes before losing my breath along with my right foot becoming weak. That was the first time in a while I had walked out of that gym with a grin on my face stretched out a mile long. At 12:00 I then went to the dining area to eat my lunch. Before doing so I had to tell someone the good news. I saw Jill in one of the kitchens. She is an o.t. at WestSide. I then sat down to eat my lunch with other clients who were there today. At 1:00 Larry from United took me home. I had arrived home at 2:10. Once I was inside I jumped on the swin air dine for thirty minutes. My mother then arrived home. I was then fealing tired so I layed down to rest and I slept from for two hours. At 5:00 I then got up to go out to the kitchen to eat dinner. My mother had fried up some zuccini along with some rice and lettuce.Once I had finished eating, I then went to ,y room to blog before taking my shower.
