Everyone has their own tools you just have to shift your thinking

 My Wednesday morning began at 7:00 a.m. by going into the kitchen so as to drink my hot cocoa and eat some fruit. After doing so, I then had some crepes for breakfast. Once I had finished eating, I then returned to my bedroom at 7:30 so as to brush my teeth and shave. After doing so, I then sat down to fill my empty pill containers. At 8:00 I then called the pharmacy to order some medication that I was running low on. At 8:30 I then put in my eye and nose drops before taking in two puffs of air with my inhaler. At 9:00 I then began to do my stretches that I have been doing since having my last stroke. At 9:15 I continued to stretch by doing my back stretches. At 9:18 I then cycled for twenty minutes. I then continued with my back stretches then my new P.T. stretches. At 10:00 I took the sheets off my bed before taking a shower. At 10:26 I then put some clean laundry away. At 11:00 I then had my tela health counseling session with Frank. Today we first talked about joining an online tela health support group that he conducts once a month. I said that I would be interested. I then let him know how I have a friend who would like me to do a zoom meeting with her and a couple of other friends. I just have to download the app. We then spoke about what we could do while in this zoom meeting. have a snack, drink coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Frank and I also spoke about anxiety of wearing my A.F.O. We then spoke about the things that I could do while wearing my A.F.O. Like walking in malls, what support a running shoe might d0 for me versus an A.F.O. They are just a tool. I just have to shift my thinking. Everyone has tools to run. My homework for this week is to think of what works best for me. Everyone runs differently and need their own tools to do it. For example: A.F.O., Knee brace, ect. At 12:00 we ended our session. I then ate lunch. At 12:25 I then returned to my bedroom to brush my teeth before laying down to rest. I had slept from 12:30-3:45 before waking. Once I was awake, I then took a shower at 4:20. I then ate dinner with my parents before pulling up my blog at 4:45 and typing of my day.
