Learning new exercises during O.T. with Natalie

My Tuesday morning began at 5:20 a.m. by going into the kitchen to drink my hot cocoa while eating my fruit. After doing so, I then had a bowl of cereal with banana with half of a toasted english muffin. Once I had finished eating, I then returned to my bedroom at 5:52 to brush my teeth and shave. At 6:05 I began to do my back stretches. At 6:25 I then took a shower and got dressed for the day ahead. At 6:45 I then put in my eye and nose drops. After taking in two puffs of air with my inhaler, I sat down to wait for United Wheelchair to arrive. I was finally on my way at 7:30 arriving at WestSide at 8:440. At 9:00 I went to Sam's office for my recreational therapy session. Today Sam and I played two games of chess. We then went on line to see how many books that I have sold. Eighty-three, that is a good number of books sold. We then spoke about writing up a presentation write up for brain injury education group. At 10:00 I then had my O.T. session with Natalie. We first worked with the hand grips. Natalie then had me do the peg test where I am timed tutting pegs into a board and taking them out. Natalie and I then went to the gym to use weights. While using them she showed me some exercises to strengthen My arms. Natalie then let me know that I have clones in my arm. She them had me write my A B C' s. we then went to the gym to do weight exercises. At 11:00 During my P.T. session with Dan I first went twenty minutes on the Nu Step. At 1:05 I then went home. I arrived home at 1:05. Once inside I had a bowl of pea soup. I then went to my bedroom to brush my teeth and lay down to rest and slept from 1:35-4:15. After taking a shower at 4:40 I then went into the kitchen to eat dinner. At 5:15 I then received a call from WestSide letting me know that they will be closed tomorrow do to the storm. At 5:15 I then pulled up my blog and typed of my day.
