Talking about using a stimor neuro muscular elelctrical stimulator With susan during speech

I began my Tuesday morning at 5:00 a.m. by getting up to do my weight exercises both arm and leg. After a thirty minute weight workout I then continued by doing my stretching. As I was doing so I sipped on my hot cocoa. After my morning workout I the preceded to get ready for my day ahead before going out into the kitchen to eat my bowl of cereal and a piece of toasted brown bread. Once I had finished eating I then brushed my teeth before grabbing my duffle bag and lunch. United had arrived shortly afterwards. I had arrived to Westside around 9:00 a.m. Upon doing so I first signed in before making my way into the conference room for Yoga. Today Michelle had Donald, Matt, and I doing floor yoga and some seated yoga from watching a video and following along. At 10:00 I then made my way downstairs to the gym for my P.T. session with Dan. I started the session by doing some breathing exercises. Dan then had me on the tread mill walking. Before walking Dan took my resting blood pressure, 104 over 74. I then walked for twenty-five minutes at 3.0 mph. My working blood pressure was then 104 over 76. Dan then had me in the parallel bars doing some tandem walking. I then walked in the center of the hall way tandem one foot in front of the other. At 11:00 I then had a fifteen minute break so I just sat in the lobby waiting. At 11:15 I then met with my case manager Piper. Today I spoke to Piper about humid hot 90 degree weather and how it is effecting my breathing. "NOT GOOD" At 11:30 I then met with Susan for a speech session. Today she was telling me about having a vital stimor neuro muscular electrical stimulation done on all the muscles involved in helping me to swallow. In doing so this will prevent food from getting lodged in my throat. At 12:00 I then went to the kitchen to eat my lunch. At 12:30 I then met with Deb. Today she and I continued to look on line for a keyboard to use with my I pad. At 1:00 United then took me home. I had arrived home at 2:40 thus going strait to bed. I had slept for two hours before getting up to blog. I then ate my dinner before calling it a day. And a hot day at that.
