First week of new group therapy's at WestSide Neuro Rehab

 My Monday morning began at 5:00 by going into the kitchen to drink my hot cocoa while eating some fruit. After doing so, I then had a cheese omelet with half of an english muffin. Once I had finished eating, I then returned to my bedroom at 5:33 to brush my teeth and make my bed. At 5:30 I then had taken my shower and got dressed for the day. At 6:10 I had put in my eye and nose drops before taking in two puffs of air with my inhaler. After doing so, I then preceded to do my back stretches. At 6:10 I then did my stroke before putting an ice pack on my back, while listening to my audio book. At 8:30 United Wheelchair had arrived to take me to WestSIde. Upon my arrival to WestSide at 9:45, I had sat in the lobby for fifteen minutes before going to the gym at 10:00 for my P.T. session with Dan. We started our session off by our laps around the kitchen and gym. I must be getting stronger, because each session, I am able to do more laps each session. Today I walked 1000 feet. After doing so, Dan and I went back into the gym so that I could go into the parallel bars and do my leg exercises. Dan then put the gate belt around my waist and had me looking in in every direction. I then went into the hallway to do some backward walking. We then ended the session with another couple of laps around. A 11:00 I then went into the conference room for memory strategy group. Today Skylar and Keileigh had us first go over the goals of the group then we played going on a picnic. We had to remember what each person had said. Next week how the brain remembers things. At 12:00 I then went to the dining area to eat lunch. At 1:00 I had met with Samantha for recreational therapy. We first talked about fun things to do during recreational therapy. Like using the safari on walking trails. We then went on line and I showed her my blog, Riding the Brain Train. We then talked about editing my book. She then told me to bring in my I pad next week. I then began to teach her how to play chess. We then played checkers. At 2:00 I then went to the conference room for cribbage group. Skylar had four clients in the group now so we played partners. At During library group with Skylar we talked about pod cast and audio books. we then listened to a book on the computer. We chose a murder mystery. We then chose a short book the last twenty minutes. At 4:00 I then went to the lobby to meet Charlie the United Wheelchair Driver who would be taking me home. I arrived home at 5:11.
