Mary Free Bed Days

Well, once I got to Mary Free Bed, they had to do a lot of evaluation on how I was. Like theytook measurements of my legs and how far they could bend and my arms how far I could range them. This is just so they knew what they needed to work on and through out my stay there they would measure these things again ot make sure I was gaining and not losing. These measurements were a pain but I liked to hear the results exspecially if I was doing well.
My schedule on the weekdays looked like this: Breakfast: 745-8am, Speech: 9-9:30am (in room), Neck Massage:9:30-10:00am, Leg excersies: 10-10:30am, OT (range):10:30-11:00am, Speech (mouth stretches) 11:00-11:30am, Lunch 12:00-1pm, PT (working on walking)1:30-2pm, (later, I would work in thier apartment as well practicing getting up off the couch and floor and then I would practice getting in and out of the car they have there) Speech: 2-2:30pm, OT (range) 2:30-3:30pm (later, during this time after range I would either work on some of the exercise equpiment or work in the kitchen), done-3:30pm. Dinner would be around 5 I believe. So that was my schedule and the weekend was much the same but sometimes I would have a TON of therapies becuase I would handle it. So one weekend I had at least 9 therapies in that day and everyone else had less but I think that only happened once. But the weekend I was told as suppose to be a light load. Not for me. I would see my doctor through out the week to make sure everything was okay and when I was sick I saw him a little more. And a couple of other doctors.

Tomorrow I will explain all the therapies and what they did and how they helped..

Later!
