Water therapy
I was going to read a little today and not get into posting but I forgot something I should have put on my last post here. 
I am not sure if you, I or someone else has mentioned this but a few years back I started aqua therapy.
I cannot describe how beneficial this was for me. 
I had no bad effects from it like I did when I tried land exercise. 
If you haven't tried aquatherapy I hope you will ask your doctor & that you'll think about trying it (if you haven't already).
It even feels good
I had a therapist teach me what to do.
Every summer I continue to do the exercises. They still work to increase my stamina and tolerance to exercise.
This type of exercise is even used for people who have fractured their hips. It is not so easy to walk across the pool as fast as you can.
It really works the abdominal and thigh muscles.
Plus the water cools you off on hot days.
I can't wait until I am cleared to start doing this again.
Hugs, Hope
