Feelings of frustration

I began my Monday morning at 5:30 a.m. by going out into the kitchen to drink my hot cocoa and eat some fruit. Unable to sleep as well as have been sleeping the extra hour helped out a little. Once I had finished eating two slices of strawberry bread with peanut butter, I had returned to my bedroom to brush my teeth before stretching. After doing so, I had taken my shower thus getting ready for the rest of my day. I actually did not have enough time to complete my work out this morning do to the lack of sleep last night. Once I had packed my knapsack I had grabbed my lunch and I was on my way to therapy. I had arrived there for 8:45. Just enough time to take care of lunch before going to my last p.t. session with Lydia. That is right my P.T. is ending this week. I have been well prepared for this day for some time, but I am still not pleased with the way my body has recovered. After all the hard work I have put in and will still continue to do, I thought I would be running once again by now. But the ankle area and foot still need to be strengthened. I will try my best to continue to do The physical therapist at West Side have taught me. Thank you each and every one of you, I am ever so great full. During my P.T. session with Lydia today I first road the Nu Step for twenty minutes After going 1.13 miles and 102 steps per minute We then went walking outside. We had walked one-fourth mile in five minutes twice. Total of one-half mile. At 10:00 I then went to the conference room for my Tai Chi group. Today Joe the instructor had us the clients name of the different Tai Chi exercises, thus using our memory. At 11:00 I then took a break before speaking to Piper. Feeling a little lost, knowing that my P.T. was coming to a close and that I had not made the gains that I hoped, a good chat with my case manager was in order, to help me get through the frustration of it all. At 12:00 I then went to lunch. Once I had finished eating I then took my shower before going home. I had arrived home at 2:00. Upon doing so, I had slipped into something comfortable and went to sleep. I woke up at 5:00 going out into the kitchen to eat dinner before sitting down to blog.
