BASILAR TIP ANEURYSM

I began my Monday morning at 5:30 a.m. by stretching and doing my weight exercises. At 6:30 I then went to the kitchen to eat some home made granola my mother had made, along with a home made bisquet. At 7:00 I then went back into my bedroom to get ready for my day ahead. Once I had done so I then took an air flo reading: 450, 400, 480. At 8:30 John from United picked me up to take me to WestSide. Upon my arrivel for my 10:00 a.m. P.T. appointment. I had met Dan in the gym. He had first taken my blood pressure 104 over 70. I then walked on the tredmill at 2.8 mph up from last week at 2.6. I then walked for twelve minutes going .548 miles. Dan then took my blood pressure again, this time it was 110 over 72. Dan then strapped a gate belt on me and we began to do some walking, as we were walking I became dizzy and light headed so Dan had me sit down. I then went into the room across from the gym to rest. While doing so Sally the Nurse came in to see me. At 11:15 I then met with Piper my case manager for fifteen minutes. We talked about health in gneral. At 11:30 I then had my support session with Deb. Deb had asked me if I would like my picture in the paper and write up for Goodwill. I had agreed to and will be appearing in the newspaper in a couple of months several times. I then typed a letter to sharlene saying I would do it. At 12:00 I then went to the kitchen to eat my lunch with Tina, Sue, and John. At 12:30 I then went to Carina's office for speech. While talking with Carina she was looking over some reports and she had let me know the stroke I had last year was otherwise know as a Basilar Tip Aneurysm. We also talked more about PVFM. After speech John then took me home. On my way out, Deb cought me in the hall and had told me to start working on my story about my stroke to be put in the Newspaper. At 1:00 John took me home. I had arrived home at 2:30 thus going right to bed. I had slept until 4:00. I then got up took my shower before eating dinner. Once I had blogged I went to bed.
