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,

Hi Dew,
I love the desert, I do much better there. I think it helps detox the body and cleanse the lymph system.
I am sorry to here about your sister being ill. When bad things happen to me and my loved ones, I look at it like I am in a storm, with a lovely rainbow at the end.
I am giving it a go, with building some muscle tone over the summer. One of my MD's told me she goings in the pool every morning before 7am. She shared she didn't feel like it but does it anyway.
Much Love, Roz
