sipping bananna through a straw
I began my Monday at 5:00 a.m. by gettig out of bed to stretch. At 5:30 I then did my ankle exercises before lifting weight with my upper body. I seem to be running out of time, so I had to skip my leg exercises with the weights. At 5:40 I then made my way to the kitchen to eat breakfast. My mother had made me a bananna sanwhich along with my hot cocoa and a glass of o.j. Once I had finished eating I then returned to my bedroom to take my shower and get ready for the day ahea. I then grabbed my lunch and my napsack, and left for the day o United Wheelchair. I had arrived to Westside at 9:00 a.m. I then went straight to the gym for my P.T. session with Lydia. She first had me walk ten minutes on the tredmill for a warm up at 3.0 mph. Lydia then strapped the gate belt on me and we went ouside. She first had me running in the parking lot as she held on ever so tightly. I had run 480 feet not all at once, I then went on the lawn to walk to peremetere of the back yard at WestSide. We then went back into the gym to do some heel to toe walking in the hall. To catch my balnce I would step out so as not to fall. Lydia then set up some cones for my to step over one foot at a time and tapping them ever so lightly. I then kept my gate belt and went to the conference room for tai chi with Lyndsey. There are allot of staff in this particular group do to all the clients with balance issues needing one on one assistence like myself. Lyndsey held on to my gate belt with two hands as I participated in the tai chi exercise called the form which include raising your arms and alot of weight shifting. I then spent the second half of the group sitting because I was so tired from P.T. At 11:00 I then went to Laughter Therapy group with Mellissa. Today Allissa, Paul, Dondald and I Laughed along with Robert Rivers and his laughter sessions on line. At 12:00 I then went to the kitchen to eat my lunch with others. I then went to the lobby to meet United to take me to the Trolly Building at Central Maine Medical Center for my stem cell therapy with Nichole. Once inside Nichole put the electroids to my throat area. she then mashed a bananna up. Nichole then turned on the vital stem. she then handed me a straw and had me suck the mashed bananna through the straw and swallow. There were times during this exercise it was difficult and I would cough or choke. I then woule sip some water before continuing. After fourty-five minutes of stem cell theropy Bruce from United Wheelchair took me home. I had arrived home at 4:00 thus going straight to bed. I was beat. I had slept for ninty minutes before my mother had awken me. I then took a shower before having a bowl of soup for dinner. I then went to my bedroom to blog on my I pad.
