Sun Breaths

I began my Monday morning at 6:00 a.m. by getting up to do my stretching and only my stretching. My pcp had called yesturday to let me know not to do any more strenuouse exercises do to my head ache. That I somehow seem to can't rid of. He also highered my dose of nortriptyline from two pills to three pills per day. As of now it is working 90%. Once I had taken my shower and was ready for my day ahead, I then went to the kitchen to wash the dish's and pick up. Once I had done so, I then started the dish washer. I then went to the laundry room to fold laundry that was in the dryer. At 8:30 I then went to the foyer to wait for United to arrive. I had arrived at WestSide at 10:00 a.m. Just enough time to bring my lunch to the kitchen. I then went back to the lobby. Piper then came to get me at 10:15. She was letting me knoe that WestSide will be closed next Monday do to Martin Luther King Jr. day. She then had asked me if I had any questions of concerns of my theropy. At 10:30 I then met with Deb for a support session. Deb first ask me if I had brought my Ipad in with me. I replied, "no." Deb then told me to try not to forget it so that we can work with every Monday. We then brough up my Email to check. At 11:00 I then went downstairs to the gym for my P.T. session with Dan. Dan first took my blood pressure. 110 over 76. I then walke on the tredmill for twenty minutes at 3.1 mph. After walking 1.032 miles and burning 99.2 calories my blood pressure was 112 over 76. Dan then had me lay on the mat to do some ankel exercises. At 12:00 I then went to the dining area to eat my lunch with Tina, Dan, Rem, and Paul. Once I had finished eating I then went back to the loby to wait for Corina to come get me for my 12:30 speech session. During my speech session Carina had me do some sun breaths. This is where you raise your arms as you look up and breath. Carina then had me go to the gym to walk on the tredmill while practicing my breathing in through my nose and exhaling through mouth making a ssssssssssound through teeth. At 1:00 United took me home. first we had to stop at Central Maine Medical Center to pick up a patient to bring him to Edge Wood, a rehab facility on the out skirts of Farmington in t little town called Fairbanks. I finally arrived home at 3:30. As soon as I did I had called Mellisa the receptionist at WestSide to see what the event was at WestSide tomorrow. It is movie night. I then took my shower before eating dinner. I then went to my bedroom to blog at 4:15. I was then in bed by 5:30.
