Discussing swollowing strategies with Corina during speech
I began my Monday morning at 5:30 a.m. by getting busy doing my leg and arm weight exercises. It sure is taking a while to regain muscle back in my arm, but it is getting there. At 6:00 I then started in with my stretching. This has been very beneficial in the morning, especially with my fingers. At 6:20 I then started in with my speech and breathing exercises. I then took my shower thus getting ready for my day ahead. I then had made my way to the kitchen to eat an egg sandwhich for breakfast. Once I had finished eating, I returned to my bedroom to brush my teeth and clean my bathroom. I then grabbed my things thus waiting for United to arrive. Upon my arrivel to WestSide, I had signed in, thus making my way down to the kitchen to put my lunch in one of the refrigerators. I then put my things in my locher before making my way over to the gym for P.T. with Dan. Upon meeting with Dan he had imformed me that I am due for a P.T. assessment by Amanda the P.T. before he and I can work together again. Dan and I spent the hour doing some cognitive activities. Deductive reasoning and analogies. At 11:00 I then had Laughter Theropy Group. We first started the group by remembering last weeks qoute, which was, "There is no laughter in the medicine, but there is a lot of medicine in the laughter." We then went over todays quote which was, "When you laugh you change, When you change the whole world changes." Deb then read to us a joke. We then listened to the laughter song. Matt, Paul, Michelle, Florina, Deb, and I then did some laughing. At 12:00 I then went down to the kitchen to eat my lunch. Once I had finished eating, I had made my way back upstairs for my speech session with Corina. Corina first had me in the gym on the tredmill walking and breathing, practicing in through the nose and exhailing through my front teeth making a ssssssssssssssssss sound. We then went back to her office to discuss swallowing strategies, so as not to choke. At 1:00 Frank from United took me home. I had arrived home at 2:20 thus going straight to bed. I had slept until 4:00 before getting up to take my shower. I then called a friend to talk to before eating dinner. I then went to my laptop to blog at 5:00 thus calling it a day.
