Pookie,

I agree with everyone also. I especially like the idea where you make 2 columns. Recently I received a settlement for the death of my sister. My husband gave me some input and his opinion, but it was my decision. There were things that he didn't get. This money is because of your RSD - YOUR medical condition. We are all faced with the fact that this isn't going away.
The pool would provide a place for you to do some physical therapy at home during the summer months. Just think how many co-pays that would save you. You are ABSOLUTELY NOT being selfish - atleast this is my two-cents worth.

Please keep us updated. I'm thinking about you.
