I started a special program at Long Beach Memorial Rehab which students in the PT program at Cal State Long Beach come in for some hands-on training with actual therapy patients, under the supervision of a licensed PT (who is also their instructor). Every Tuesday and Thursday, from now until early May (except for spring break), I will go in for an hour of therapy/exercise.
Today I met June and Rebecca, the two PT students that will help me with my exercises in the coming weeks. They performed an evaluation of my strengths and weaknesses, along with giving me some tips on improving my home exercises. June will work with me on Tuesdays and Rebecca will help me on Thursdays.
I made it home and had lunch, then rested. I skipped my regular afternoon exercises but made up for it during my evening exercise time.
A YEAR AGO TODAY: I only had Speech therapy but my visitors were Jim & June, friends of my parents. Kim & Linda (my brother-in-law’s mother and sister) brought me a box of Whitman’s chocolates, but since my diet was restricted to liquids (through a stomach tube), I gave them to the nursing staff. From my church came Alan & Jeanne, and Lillian Y.
