Do I or Do I not? That is the question.

My Thursday morning began at 5:00 a.m. by making my bed. After doing so, I then began to stretch. I had first loosened up my body with stretches I had learned during my latest stroke recovery. At 5:20 I then preceded to do my back stretches. At 5:30 I then cycled for twenty minutes before shaving and taking my shower. Once I was ready for the day, I then make my way into the kitchen so as to eat some fruit with fruit dip. I then had peanutbutter and honey on english a toasted english muffin. At 6:30 I then retunrned to my bedroom so as to brush my teeth. I then put in my eye and nose drops before taking in some air. At6:52 I then put some clean laundry away while listening to my audio book. At 5:15 I then grabbed my knapsack and out the door I went. United Wheelchair had me at the door step of WestSide Neurorehab at 9:00 a.m. during my rehab session with Kala who was covering for Ashly we played cribbage. At 10:00 I then continued my time with Kala during my regular weekly rehab session working on my book. We then talked about my appointment with Tim today, my case manager from the devision of the blind. At 11:00 during my rehab session with Jamie, I had threaded yarn around nails on the piece of wood I had  bought a couple of weeks ago with Jamie. At 12:00 I then went into the lobby so as to eat my lunch. At 12:25, I then brushed my teeth, so as to prepare myself for my appointment with Tim. I then sat in the lobby to wait. Tim arrived at WestSide at 1:00 to take me over to the career center so as to meet. Upon our arrival, Tim signed out a room. Once we were in the room, we began our discussion of the option that I am looking at. He was letting me knwo if I chose to go the conversion center for two months that I will receive intense training from an O&M instructor, rehab teacher, and other group therapy’s for example cooking groups and social groups. Therapy is eight hours per day five days per week with weekends off. Tim let me know the he would come to see me one hour per week to see hour things are going. At the end of the training, there would be discussions of a job placement and living. Tim also said he was willing to take me there for a tour of the facility. I then had to sign some release forms. Tim then took me back to WestSide, Where United Wheelchair took me home. I had arrived home at 3:30. Upon doing so, I then took a shower before getting comfortable. I then ate a bowl of pea soup before returning to my bedroom so as to blog of my day.
