OT With Yasmine

Today is August 17, 2023 and it’s Thursday! I’m so glad I had restful night’s sleep after yesterday’s procedure. I woke up energized and so ready for the last day of the week. My physical therapist had already informed me that she would not be attending today’s session due to another work engagement. So after breakfast, I got dressed and went down to the gym room in our house and got started on my PT workouts. When I’m completely done with PMR next Thursday I’m going to need to do all my therapy sessions on my own at home so today was a good intro to that. I still had my OT session as scheduled today and Yasmine, who came back from her soccer camp on Monday night, decided to join me! Yay!

We arrived at PMR a little before 11:00, my vitals were taken then we headed to the OT room. I started with my usual upper body exercises that target my strength, mobility and range of motion. My therapist asked Yasmine to join me in some of my exercises, like the one shown above. We had a weighted bean-bag toss challenge and Yasmine beat me so I owed her ice cream for winning. My therapist also introduced some moves that involved me kneeling on the floor. This is to prepare me for some of the floor exercises I’ll be doing during physical therapy next week. They were challenging but nothing I couldn’t handle. We wrapped up a little early so Yasmine and I headed out to get her that ice cream she deserved!

I’m really looking forward to the weekend…I felt like this week was just dragging and dragging and dragging. I hope all of you enjoy your weekend with your families, loved ones or by yourselves. Ciao for now!
