Using thera red and yellow thera band with Caryn during P.T.

 My Tuesday morning began at 4:30 a.m. by doing my back stretches. I then continued to do my stroke stretches. Once I was loosened up and made my bed, I then went into the kitchen at 5:40 to eat my fruit while drinking a hot cup of apple cider. Once I had finished doing so, I then had a bowl of granola with half of a toasted english muffin. Once I had finished eating, I then returned to my bedroom at 6:20 to shave and take my shower. Once I was dressed and ready for the day ahead, I then put in my eye and nose drops. Once I had taken in two puffs of air with my inhaler, I then sat to wait for United Wheelchair. I was soon on my way at 7:30. I had arrived at WestSide at 9:00 a.m. and went strait to the gym for my P.T. session with Caryn. We began our session by walking five loops around the outer hallway of the gym and dining area. After doing so, we went back into the gym. Caryn had put ankle  weights around my legs. I then sat on the edges of one of those workout beds and lifter my leges up. Caryn then used red and yellow thera band to do some more leg exercises. Red for my left and yellow for my right. At 9:30 Caryn went to get me some water. I then went into the parallel bars to do squats, side kicks, and kick my legs forward and backward. At 9:35 I then took another break. Caryn then put the erix pad in the parallel bars. She then had me put my feet close together standing on the erix mat. After doing so, I then took one more lap before going into the kitchen for cooking group at 10:00 with two other clients. Today Keileigh had us making fettuccine alfredo and  apple crisp. We first cup up and chopped apples. We then mixed cinnamon with the apples stirring it around. Once the apple crisp was made, we cleaned up the kitchen and began to make the fettuccini elfredo. Once we had finished doing so, we sat down to eat. At 1:00 I had an O.T. session with Betsy. We first played cribbage. She then taught me how to play eye spy, so as to work on my visual tracking. We then played pick up sticks before ending the session. At 2:00 I then went into the lobby to meet the United Wheelchair driver who would be taking me home. I had arrived home at 3:00 and went strait to my bedroom to rest. I had slept until 4:30 before getting up to take a shower and get comfortable for the evening. At 4:50 I then went into the kitchen to have a bowl of fish chowder for dinner. I then went to my bedroom at 5:10 to blog of my day.
