My first day back to WestSide Neuro Reheab

 My Tuesday morning began at 5:00 a.m. by shaving and making my bed. At 5:30 I then took a shower and got ready for my first day back receiving therapy at WestSide since the pandemic. And let me tell you getting there was not all fun and games. Once I was ready, I then went into the main camp to eat my fruit and drink my hot cider. at 5:15 I then had an egg cup and half of an english muffin. I then went into the my camp at 7:10 to brush my teeth, put in my eye and nose drops, and use my inhalers. At 7:00 Uts Transportation had arrived. This was not United Wheelchair. What was going on. Well we drove as far as Jay, I then had to get into another one of there vans that was taking clients to another facility for people with developmental disabilities. While doing so, I tripped and fell. They do not assist you like United Wheelchair.  in Lewiston. Not that, that mattered, but it was just another stop I had to make before my arrival at 8:40. At 9:00 during gardening group, Laura had us down in the dining room. We then went out into the garden to pull weeds and water the plants. We then sat down in the dining room to discuss what we could do with rest of our time during our three hour group. Maybe a craft. Laura then let us know a new rehab tech starting soon named Keely because Marie is leaving. Laura then had us pick mint and try it. We then cut wire and put it around plants. We then spoke about doing a creative writing group for the rest of our time next week from 11-12. At 10:45 we then talked about facts about plants. At 11:00 we though about things to write about for creative writing. I then shared the ideas of the book that I am writing. and how I began to write it. As I was doing so, I felt a bit of anger. She then asked us what we liked to get out of the writing part of the group. My response was, "Don't give up." Laura then asked me to bring in my I pad to show the group my poems and book. We then talked about the twelve benefits of creative writing. At 12:00 I then went to the lobby to meet my dreaded ride back to camp. I had arrived back to camp at 1:15. Once I had eaten lunch, I then lied down to rest and slept from 1:20-5:00. I then took a shower before eating. At 5:30 I then returned to my camp to blog of my day.
