Learning how to put an Icon on my Ipad during O.T.

I began my Wednesday morning at 8:00 a.m. going out into the kitchen to eat a bowl of cherios with a cut up bananna. I first drank my hot cocoa with a toasted plain doughnut. Once I had finished eating, I had picked up the kitchen before starting the dishwasher. At 8:30 I then went downstairs to ride the swin airdine for thirty minutes. At 9:00 I had returned to my bathroom to brush my teeth. I then made my bed before starting in with my weight exercises. At 9:30 I then stretched. Once I had finished with my workout I had gone out on my deck to clear it off while it was melting. At 11:00 I then emptied the dishwaher and put the dish's away. I then brought my things to the door to wait for United. While doing so I did my speech and breathing exercises. I had arrived to WestSide for 1:00 p.m. Upon doing so I made my way into the conference room for support group. Dee Dee, Linda, Denise, Camie, Tina, Peter, Chris and I shared our weekly thoughts with Deb and Jen. Denise first went around trying to remember everyones name. We then put our fist in the center of the table and said, "STAY POSSITIVE!" Tina was out last week do to an ear infection. She had made an appointment to see an ear, nose, and throught doctor. She is also spending more time with Andy. Pete had an uneventful week. Pete also shared how he has been fighting with his dog and enjoy's cooking when he has company. Dee Dee is anxious for Easter. I spoke of the breathing problems I had last week at Pine Land shiing. Chris is losing his appartment in Monmouth and looking to move to the Lewiston/Auburn area. Pete received his Brain injury After falling thirty feet from his appartment. Linda got a new cain. Today was the first day she was able to put jeans on instead of sweat pants. Linda found out her job has been terminated six months after her stoke. Linnda also shared with us she got a new Ipad. Camie trying to get work done around the house. Denise took her dog for a walk and has no plans for easter. Denise has a hard time remembering names. Dee Dee brought in an apple pie to share with the group. Yum Yum! At 2:00 I then made my way down to the gym for my P.T. session with Dan. Dan first took my blood pressures, 112 over 80 I then walked 25 minutes on the tredmill at 3.1 mph. I then walked two minutes on 2.5 mph. At the end of my walk I had gone 1.375. Dan then had me in the parallel bars working on my balance. While standing on an erix cushion Dan had me scan around the room looking for five red objects, five yellow objects, ect. He also had me look to the right and then to the left. At 3:00 I had my O.T. session with Nancy I practiced with Nancy adding a note just for today and not saving weekly on my Ipad. Nancy then showed me how to put an Icon on my Ipad for my blog. United then took me home. I had arrived home at 4:30. Once Inside I had sat down to eat dinner right off. I then took my shower before sitting down to blog.
