Some MD's will discourage you from a wheelchair, because they want you to keep moving the limb.

Can you get into pool therapy?

I had the pool therapy..after 8 weeks of it..I felt like I was building strength, and then the heater in the pool broke. 8 weeks have passed, and the pool is finally repaired. I know that some of my muscle building has been lost.

Hubby and I will be leaving for AZ this week to be with my sister who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We will be with sis and her family while she has surgery. My water PT will be put on hold at the Rehab hospital; however, it will continue in my sister's in-ground pool, in her backyard. Sis says the temps are really a dry hot heat, and I can swim day and/or night..so I will be working on me while I am there with her.

I had an opportunity to buy a new walker with the seat, at an auction..for $69.00. I foo-fooed that idea as I thought I would not need it.

Little did I know how RSD throws curve balls when one least expects. My legs have shown deodorization since 11/08, when I started to need crutches. I thought I was over-using them.

I see PM doc tomorrow..I will talk to him about this matter.

Thanks,
Dew
