Will I ski again?

I began my Wednesday morning at 8:00 a.m. by going out into the kitchen to toast an english muffin for breakfast. Waiting for it to toast, I began to drink my hot cocoa and eat some fruit. Once I had finished eating, I then returned to my bedroom to begin my daily workout of stretching and weight routine. At 9:10 I then went downstairs to ride the swin air dine for thirty minutes. Once I had finished my workout I then went to take my shower and get ready for the rest of my day. At 10:10 I then started a load of laundry. After doing so I then put some laundry away that was dry. I then went to the kitchen to wash some dish's before before hanging the laundry to dry. At 11:10 I then practice my speech and breathing exercises. United soon had arrived to bring me to WestSide. Upon my arrivel I had gone to the conference room for support group. Today during support group Camie, Denise, Dee Dee, Tina, and I first checked in with Deb and Piper on how our week had gone. Tina shared how her Christmas went. Tina had made the statement that Christmas is not like it use to be. Today she said it is more about gifts and not the family. Camie shared that she seams to cry more frequently after her stroke. Dee Dee snow shoed over this past weekend and spent time organizing her gifts from Christmas. Camie also mentioned how she likes to make lists of things she has to do, although she is finding after having her stroke she does not have half the energy like she use to complete the list before having to lay down a take a nap. It sounds a lot like how the stroke has effected my life. At 2:00 I then made my way downstairs to the gym for P.T. Once in the gym, Dan first took my blood pressure as usual, 102 over 70. I then walked twenty minutes on the tredmill at 3.1 mpr. At the end I had burned 100 calories and walked 1.032 miles. Dan then had me in the parallel bars shifting my weight from one leg to the other. Dan then had me stepping up on three planks stacked high. while not holding on to the parallel bars Dan had me stepping up alternating legs ten times. Dan then had me loking around the gym to find red and yellow items. At 3:10 United took me home. Before leaving while waiting in the lobby, Tobby the rec theropist came up to me and said that WestSide is working on the schuling, and in a couple of weeks I should see on it time with her to start me back skiing again. I can't wait. For those of you who do not I was an avid skiier before my stoke both down hill and cross country. I had arrived home at 4:15. Immediatly taking my shower before eating dinner. That workout during P.T. has me beat.
