Riding home with Roland
I began my Thursday morning at 6:00 a.m. by going out into the kitchen a bowl of cereal, toasted muffin, o.j., and my hot cocoa. Once I had finished with my breakfast I then returned to my bedroom to do my weight exercises. Each morning I wish that I were Hurculies. I am almost there, but not quite. At 7:00 I then made my way downstairs to the swin air dine to ride for thirty minutes. I then returned to my bedroom to stretch. Which often times is a pain, but still very importent. Once I had taken a shower and was totally ready, I then started a load of laundry. Something I probably should not have done, given the time I had left before United pulled into the driveway. I then gathered my things to bring to the door. Larry from United Wheelchair had soon arrived.Oh the laundry did not get hung. Upon my arrivel to WestSide for my 10:30 counceling appointment with Dr. Ablitz. We discussed prospects of me moving back out on my own again sometime this summer. He said it is not set in stone and I could change my mind when at anytime. We then talked about the progress I am making with my P.T. sessions and speech. At 11:00 I then went down to the gym for my P.T. session with Dan. Dan once again started with taking my blood pressure reading 108 iver 74. I then walked on the tredmill for twenty minutes. After burning 998 caloriesa at 3.1 mph and walking 1.032 miles, my blood pressure reading was still 108 over 74. At 11:30 Dan then had me in the parallel bars doing leg exercises. Dan then had me put the gate belt on and had me walking outside the parallel bars side stepping. the unique part was he had be cross my foot behind my opposite leg while doing so. At 12:00 I then went to the dining area to eat my lunch before going home. Roland from United had taking me home today. I use to run with roland when I lived in Auburn in the Tripple Crown 5k road races held every summer during the months on June, July, and August. I was so tired I had slept all the way home. At 2:10 I had arrived home and went to my bedroom and slept two more hours. At 4:10 I then got up, took my shower before eating dinner. Once I had eaten my dinner I then did my speech and breathing exercises before sitting down to blog.
