Walking with out my cain at West Side Things are looking up!!!

I began my Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. by going out into the kichen to eat a bowl of cereal, bananna, toasted english muffin, hot cocooa, and a glass of orange juice. I had returned to my bedroom at 7:30 to brush my teeth. I then began my morning work out by doing my weight exercises. At 8:00 I then went on the swin air dine for thirty minutes. All this hard work is paying off. I am walking around WestSide with out my afo and my cane in my hand, but I rarely ever use it. Just on occassion when I might lose my balance. At 8:30 I then went to the laundry room to begin a load of laundry. I then returned to my bedroom to do my stretching before taking my shower. I then cleaned my bathroom. At 9:30 I was back in the laundry room so as to get the laundry to hang to dry. At 9:35 I then began another load. At 9:40 I was then back in my bedroom putting away laundry my mother had folded and left in my bedroom. I then did my speech and breathing exercises. I then took and air flo reading: 500, 500, 470. At 10:05 I then went back to the laundry room so as to hang yet another load to dry. At 10:50 my mother had called from work. I then called my grandmother to chat. Once off the telephone with my grandmother, I had some spinache squares for lunch. At 12:00 Larry from United arrived to take me to Westside. Upon my arrivel for 1:00 I had made my way into the conference room for WestSides weekly support group meeting. Pete, Tina, Denise, along with the two therapist Deb and Jenn gathered in the conference room. We first put a hand in the middle of the table thus saying the words, "STAY POSSITIVE!" Denise then went around trying to remember everyones name. We then all checked in. Dennise was able to remember some peoples names but having a hard time over all, Pete made another batch of bisquets with the use of only one hand. Pete reports that it is getting easier every time. Tina had mentioned how her daughter is getting married but having problems with her roommate. Dee Dee went to the Wellness Center a local gym where she lives. She reports how well she is doing on the eliptical. I let people know how well I have beel cross country skiing with the use of adabptive equipment. At 2:00 I then went to the gym for my P.T. session with Dan. Dan first took my blood pressure, 110 over 80. I then walked on the tredmill. Dan increased the incline and lowered the speed. Dan then had me walk around the lower level of WestSide holding a big theropy ball. Dan then had me holding about ten plastic containers, thus walking around. to test my balance. I did not do all that bad. At 2:35 Dan then had me doing bowling using the wii. He had to strap the gate belt on just in case I had lost my balance. Sure enough I did. At 3:00 during my O.T. session today with Angela today we downloaded an apt onto my Ipad. The evernote. Yoe speak into a microphone and it dictates the note back to you. At 3:30 Rod brought me home. I had arrived home at 4:30. I immediatly took my shower getting comfortable for the night. I then went into the kitchen to eat my dinner. At 5:25 I then sat down to blog.
