Running in the parking lot at WestSide
I began my Tuesday morning at 5:00 a.m. by getting up to do my weight exercises, both arm and leg. After doing so I then began with my stretching. I then ended my workout by using the theroband to do my ankle exercises. At 5:50 I then made my way out into the kitchen to eat a bowl of cereal with banana and blueberries along with an English muffin. Once I had finished eating, I then returned to my bedroom at 6:30 to take a shower and get ready for the rest of my day. At 7:00 I had done my Identification and control exercises. Tensing the muscles in my face and body. I then grabbed my knapsack and lunch and went to the foyer to wait for my ride. Upon my arrival to Westside for 9:00 a.m. I had gone straight to the conference room for yoga group. with shawn and Carol. We started the group by doing a breathing exercise were we touch each finger with our thumb saying sa ta na ma. Matt, David, Donald, and I then use the Wii to exercises. I then went to the gym for my P.T. session with Amanda and her student Jaime. They first had me walk ten minutes on the treadmill at 3.0 miles per hour. I then had a gate belt strapped around my waist before going out in the parking lot to do some running. I ran 1200 feet with Jamie holding onto the gate belt running next to me. At first my trunk was hunch and my arms were swinging every where, but once I had that brought to my attention my form straightened out and I was good to go. There is always the breathing issue too. which has been giving me a hard time since I became more active in my therapy at Westside. Once I had finished with my running, I then went back into the gym to do some ankle exercises with Jaime before calling it a session. I then had a fifteen minute break before meeting with Piper for case management. Today we spoke about my running and the procedure I will be going through for my through. At 11:30 I then met with Sally for my nursing session. Sally for first took my blood pressure 122 over 62. We then spoke about my appointment I will be going to at Central Maine Medical Center for my swallowing. Sally had asked me to find out the name of the therapist I will be working with. At 12:00 I then went to the dining area to eat my lunch. Once I had finished eating, I then went back upstairs to meet with Deb. During my rehab session today Deb helped me download the apt side by side. This will enable me to do two things at once with my I Pad. Like reading the steps to do something and actually do the task. At 1:00 United took me home. I had arrived home at 2:30 thus going straight to bed. I had slept until 5:00. I then got up to take a shower before eating dinner. At 5:45 I had to call my fair point to get reconnected to the internet. Once I was connected I then sat down to blog.
