Holding my balance during P.T.

I began my Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m. by going out into the kitchen have bowl of cereal and a piece of toast. I finshed eating at 8:05 thus going into my bathroom to brush my teeth. I then went back out into the kitchen to start the dishwasher. I then returned to my bedroom to do my weight exercises, both arm and leg. I sure am glad I have kept up with the exercises, because it sure does pay during P.T. Once I had finished working out, I then made my bed. Once I had done so I then stretched. At 9:00 I the preceded with my morning workout by riding the swin air dine for thirty minutes. At 9:30 I then hung a lod of laundry to dry. I then started another load of whites. I then went to my bedroom to start getting ready for the day. Once I had taken my shower, I then went downstairs at 10:00 to hang another load to dry. At 10:30 I then went back upstairs to have a snack. Once I had done so, I had returned to my bathroom to fill my pill cases up for the week. At 11:00 I then gathered my things, and brought them to the door. while sitting there waiting for United to arrive, I did my speech and breathing exercises. I had arrived at WestSide at 1:00. Upon doing so I had made my way into the conference room for support group. Pete, Dee Dee, Denise, Linda, Camie, shared our weekly events with Deb and Jen. Denise first went around the room trying to remember everyones name. We then all put our fists in the middle and said, "STAY POSSITIVE!" We then preceded to share. Camie said she is doing fine and spoke a bit about having the same surgin as Dee Dee. Denise, doing well. She took her dog for a walk. She attatched his leash to her scooter. Denise also baked some brownies. Pete reports no excitement, He reports he had given his dogs away. He had done some snow shoing trying to change his anger into a positive. Dee Dee says how she feels she is getting old and takes it day by day. I then spoke about the pane in my head and what the doctors are trying to do. Linda said she has a taste of spring fever. At 2:00 I then made my way down to the gym for my P.T. session with Dan. Dan started by taking my blood pressure 102 over 78. He then had me walking on the tredmill. I walked for 25 minutes going 1.37 miles. at a speed of 3.1. I then did a two minute cool down at 2.5 mph. Dan then took my blood pressure. 104 over 78. Dan then had me in the parallel bars stepping up on a platform with my arms crossed. With increase weight on my right leg I lasted 39 seconds. With increased weight on my left leg I lasted 58 seconds. Then with one foot on platform Dan had me scanning around the gym looking certain colored objects. At 3:00 I then made my way back up to the lobby to wait for Nancy for my O.T. sessionn. During O.T. Nancy had helped me with my weekly Schedule into my Ipad. United then took me home. Once I was home, I had taken my shower to get comfortable. I then ate dinner. What a day!
