My Wednesday morning began at 5:00 a.m. by getting up to stretch. I then preceded to work my upper body with my weight routine. I then strapped on my ankle weights thus working my legs. At 5:40 I then shaved took my shower thus getting ready for the day. I then went out into the kitchen for a bowl of hot cereal and a piece of toast. Once I finished eating, I had called my grandmother before sitting down to wait for United Wheelchair to arrive. Upon my arrival to WestSide, I had put my lunch and clothing into my locker. I then went to the lobby to wait for my first appointment. I had met with Brad at 10:00. We had discussed mindfulness and did a practice. At 10:30 I then met with Brenda the Nurse. We had talked about my upcoming E.E.G. and the most recent aura,s I had been having. I then shared with her some poetry I had written. At 11:00 I had gone to the conference room for Brain Injury Education Group. Today we went through old handouts and papers the group has accumulate through the years. In doing so deciding whether to keep or trash. We then talked about the notes that we had kept. At 12:00 I then ate my lunch before before taking a shower.
