my left arm



And recently I have been thinking I'm going to be a hospice nurse!!!!!!!!!!! I am really excited about it.

MY WEEK AT A GLANCE

I have a very busy schedule.
Everyday I wake up and if my mom isn't sleeping right next to me I call out for her. We walk down the hall. Then I get in my easy stander and eat breakfast. the easy stand is helping to make my legs perfectly straight.

I have OT( occupational therapy) 3 hours a week.

I have PT ( physical therapy) 4 hours a week.

I have school 5 hours a week.

I have myofascial massage twice a week from this really great lady, named Cynthia.

I also have acupuncture every 10 days.

AAAAAAAAAAnd I exercise at a gym once a week for a hour.

After Thanksgiving I'll start speech therapy 1 hour a week.

We leave around 9:30 and get home sometimes about 4 and other times about 5:30.
I know it will pay off.

Take today for example. I had to leave my house by 9:00 to get to the gym by 9 :30. I exercised and left at 10:30 to get to OT at 11:00. Just to leave and go to Los Osos at 12:30 for a massage then go back to SLO for school which is about an hour to go to school, then go home. Yay the end of the week!
