working on my balance in P.T. today with Seth
I began my Tuesday bright and early as usual at 5:30 a.m. by doing my upper and lower weight exercises. Still trying to build up that right side muscle mass. After doing so, I then brought out my stretching exercises. They are all on sheets of paper to remind me on how they are done. I do recall most of the ones I have been doing since I was in the hospital, but the new ones that WestSide has presented to me I am still trying to remember. At 6:30 I then wen out into the kitchen to first drink my hot cocoa and eat my plate of fruit before having some pancakes. At 6:30 I then returned to my bedroom to take my shower and get ready for my day at rehab. At 7:30 Larry from United Wheelchair had arrived to bring me to WestSide. I then had grabbed my knapsack and my lunch and out the door I went. We then went to pick up Donald before venturing on to Lewiston. Upon my arrival for 9:00 a.m. Michelle wes there waiting for Donald and I in the Lobby. She then had brought us to the conference room for yoga. Dave was already in the room waiting for the group to start. Michelle first had us doing some cat cow exercises. We then listened to some soothing music while focusing on our breathing. This is always a good thing for me to do. I have never had such a hard time in my life to breath since arriving to WestSide for therapy once I was discharged from d'youville. At 10:00 I then went downstairs to the gym for my P.T. session with Seth the P.T. student. Today he first had me walking on the treadmill for thirty minutes. He then had me standing on the airex cuission. Once I had my balance, he then had me using one leg to step back to the side off the cuission. At 11:00 I then had a thirty minute break because Piper my case manager was on vacation to take up the other up the other fifteen. I had spent the half an hour in the lobby talking to Pam a mother to a client that goes to WestSide for therapy. At 11:30 I then met with Sally for my nursing session. Today we had reviewed my notes on my i pad getting things ready for my doctors appointment to my neurologist. Sally as we were doing so wrote down some key points and will be typing it up to send to my doctor, so when I get there we have something to go by. At 12:00 I then went downstairs to the dining area to eat my lunch with other clients. At 12:30 I then went back upstairs to wait in the lobby. Deb then came out to get me. We then met. Today Deb helped me to put my friends on face book in groups. At 1:00 Larry took me Donald and I home today. I had arrived home at 2:30. Upon doing so, I had gone strait to bed. I had slept until 4:15. I then got up to take a shower before eating dinner. Once I had eaten my dinner, I had returned to my bedroom to blog.
