Doctors appointment with my pcp
My Monday morning began at 5:00 a.m. by stretching and loosening up every muscle in my body from head to toe. I then did my weight exercises, both arm and leg. At 5:50 I then did my speech and breathing exercises. In through the nose. out through the mouth. At 6:15 I had made my way out into the kitchen to eat a bowl of cereal and a toasted piec of bread for breakfast. At 6:40 I had made my way back into my bedroom to take my shower and get ready to go to my doctors appointment with my PCP. Once I was ready, My father and I left for Franklin Memorial Hospital at 8:45. Once we were there I had met with Dr. Auger. He keeps telling me, Troy you are "TRULY AMAZING!" It is nothing a little hard work and a possitive attitude, is the key. Once I was through with my doctors appointment, United WheelChair was right outside the hospital waiting to bring me to WestSide. I had arrived at WestSide at 11:00, but my first Theropy did not start until 12:30. To pass the time, I sat in the lobby doing my speech and breathing exercises. At 12:00 I then went to the dining area to eat my lunch. While eating I talked with other clients Paul, eathen, and Dan and the Tobie a theropist at WestSide. Once I had finished eating I had made my way back up to the lobby to wait. At 12:30 Carina my speech theropist came out to the lobby to get me. While in her office we talked about my breathing during my P.t. sessions with Dan. We then preceded to do some breathing exercises. At 1:00 during my P.T. session, I had walked ten minutes on the tredmill with my right hand down by my side and left hand on the grip. I then did a one minute cool down. I had walked .431 miles. Dan then had me out in the hall doing start stop exercises. This drill is to see if I can stop with out losing my balance on command. I had asked Dan when will I be able to walk with out my cane at WestSide? Dan replied not just yet. with the cane in your hand he replied, It helps slow your walking down or otherwise I would be able to walk with out it. At 1:30 United took me home. I had arrived home at 2:30 . Feeling as tired as I did, I thought it be best to lay down and sleep. I had done so until 5:00 before getting up. Once I had taken a shower, I had gone to the kitchen to eat dinner before sitting down at my computer to blog.
