Ho Ho Ha Ha Hee Hee Hee
My monday morning started at 5:30 a.m. by jumping out of a bed, and pounding on those those weights. UP AND DOWN UP AND DOWN HEEEEEEEVE HOE!!! At times I wish my body would return to the way it was before my stroke. Now I say. If only magic was for real. At 6:20 I then continued my work out by stretching those bones of mine, while sipping on my hot cocoa. At 6:40 I then made my way into the kitchen to eat scrambled eggs and a toasted popover. Once I had finished eating, I had returned to my bedroom to get ready for my day ahead. Once I was all cleaned up and had my shower wiped down, I then sat down to rill my pill containers for another week. As I was doing so, I had to call the pharmacy to refill one of them. At 8:15 I then began to do my speech and breathing exercises. Hopefully in doing so it will be reparing the flap that was damaged from the stroke. I then took an air flo reading; 480, 470, 450. At 9:00 my ride from United had arrived two hours ahead of schedule. That was fine with me, I was ready to go. Upon my arrivel to West Side I had gone downstairs to put my lunch in the refrigerator. While I was downstairs I had sat at one of the tables to do my speech and breathing exercises to pass the time before my first theropy. I then made my way back upstairs for 11:00. I then went to the conference room for laughter theropy group with Deb and Florina. While in group we went on line and googled Dr. Madan Kataria. He is a doctor that specializes in laughter and the benefits from it. We then watched laughter before singing the laughter song. Ho Ho Ha Ha Hee Hee, Ho Ho Ha Ha Hee Hee, Ho Ho Ha Ha Hee Hee, Everybody is singing the laughter song, Hoooo Ha Ha He He, Hoooo Ha Ha Hee Hee, Ho Ho Ha Ha He He He, I said a Ho Ho Ha Ha He He He Alright, Very good very good Yeah Hey, Very Good Very Good Yeah Hey, We Love To Sing Laugh And Play!!! we then practiced different types of laughter. We then watched the laughter songs on YOU TUBE. A joyfull laugh along session. I then went to the dining area at 12:00 to eat my lunch. At 12:30 I then meet Dan in the gym for my P.T. session Dan first took my blood pressure, 110 over 76. He then had me walk twenty-eight minutes on the tredmill at 3.2 miles per hour. He then had me walk 2.5 mph for two minutes for a cool down for two minutes. At then end of the walk I had gone 1.533 miles. I am getting there, slow but sure. After the walk Dan then had me in the parallel bars doing some static standing. At 1:30 Dan was covering for my speech session with Carina. During this time we did some unscrambling of words and word Identification. At 2:00 United took me home. I had arrived home at 3:00 thus going straight to bed. I had slept until 4:45. I then got up took my shower, Ate my sa;ad and a bowl of soup, before sitting down to blog.
