Workout!

It's kind of weird. Forever I've wanted occupational therapy as well as physical therapy the last couple decades but it's just never come about and I really don't know why but now that I do have OT and PT I'm finding out it's taking up a lot of my time and days. It's not like I'm doing it back to back all day long but these people have to schedule me into their schedules which usually is in the middle of the afternoon or late evening and basically I can't really plan on anything during this time. However, I just have to keep reminding myself that this is somewhat situational and I only get so many hours of these Services a year according to my insurance program so they're not going to last forever so I need to stop bitching and just enjoy the process of having my day filled with productive items. They usually call in the morning to let me know what times they may have open to stop by the apartment and render the services. And they're pretty bendable if I'm doing something that I can't get out of her whatever already planned they will reschedule for another day or maybe later on that very day. They're just cruising everywhere it's amazing to me.

Today for example my OT called this morning and I barely got to the phone on time which is a big issue with me since these professionals just leave a message, if I don't get to the phone on time, with the assumption that the messages are read and will be responded to. I've been trying to find my system to answer my phone or to read my voicemails and I still can't figure it out I stumbled on how to do it at one time and I can't remember how I did it and I've been trying to figure it out again especially now I have all these calls coming in. Anyway, my OT Tech called and scheduled a time for like 3:30 like I said it's in the middle of my afternoon. I really didn't think I could schedule anything else. She came and we started the process she is the one who gave me the list of items on a written piece of paper. You know the things like hugging yourself and doing the criss cross arms thing and doing like the karate front punches just a bunch of them like two sets of 10 reps each. I was surprised that how tired I was when I finished this group of exercises. Today we did these exercises and she helped me keep on task when I would sort of Veer off and show me how to do this and how to do that and I think we had a pretty decent session. She's coming again on Friday and reduce some more of these exercises may put some weight on my hands to make the process a little more strenuous which I guess is supposed to be helpful. What's really weird is that I used to have this little hand weight two and a half pounds would probably be just exactly what I need but I can't find it anywhere. Such as life
