Pracicing my breathing during speech

My Monday morning began at 6:00 a.m. by going out into the kitchen to eat a cup of hot cereal and a piece of toast. At 6:40 I then returned to my bathroom to brush my teeth, shave, and make my bed before jumping into the shower. "NO EXERCISING?" It was my first day back to Westside with P.T. back on my schedule. What ever it is, that I would be doing, I wanted to be wide awake. At 7:00 I then put my work out clothing on. First since April 11th, the day I was admitted into the hospital, and what a long month it has been. United soon arrived shortly afterwards. Upon my arrival to Westside for 9:00 a.m. I had made my way downstairs to first put my lunch in the refrigerator. I then made my way to the gym for my P.T. session with Lidia. She first had me on the Nu Step for fifteen minutes. Which had made me incredibly tired. After a short break, I then made my way over to the mats. Once I had lied down she had me do some leg raises. Lidia then had me walking up the stairs. I then went to the lobby to wait for my 11:00 session. I soon made my way into the conference room for laughter therapy group. Today Alisa, Mat, Paul, Michelle, and I first watched a comedy video on You Tube. "Two Men Show." We then emailed a laughter Yoga instructor with Deb and Flourina to come to our group at Westside. At 12:00 I then went to the dining area to eat lunch with others. At 12:30 I then met Carina in the lobby for my speech session. We first went to her office. She then had me walking around the upper level at Westside while practicing my breathing, "relaxed throat breathing." We then went back to her office. I then sat in a chair breathing using my stomach muscles. Breathing in until I had felt the curve in my back flatten against the chair. At 1:00 Charlie from United took me home. I had arrived home at 1:20. I had gone straight to my bedroom. I had slept until 4:20. I then got took my shower before putting on my night clothing. I then went out into the kitchen to eat dinner with my parents. We each had a hamburger from the grill. At 5:00 I then went to my bedroom to blog.
