Thank you BioBased,
I got a good laugh out of that one!

I do know that many of the high schools around town offer the use of their pool for those that are a resident of the school district for a small fee. Maybe I could convince one of them to waive the residency restriction for someone in need. Otherwise, as I am writing this, I did look up one of the local YMCA websites. I did see that they have several shallow water exercise programs scheduled every day of the week, as well as adult open swim Mon. - Fri. at a time when most people would be at work/school. Hopefully there fees aren't too high. Otherwise I would have to look for other options. I haven't been able to work since my surgery in January, and my husbands business hasn't been doing very well lately so money is very tight. Small fees for the use of a pool I can afford as I know how beneficial it can be for strengthening of the limbs. I will make sure to call around over the next week to find a pool to use.

Today I am actually doing very well. The only place that is really bothering me is my ankle itself. A lot of electrical sensation and that feeling as if my ankle is being clamped in all directions, but that's good in my opinion. Going to try some simple exercises today and hope it doesn't cause any problems for me later
