I am hoping that the relief I get from using the chair can translate into more time in the pool. The local pool where I live does not have stairs to enter the water, I stopped going when it was too painful to use the ladder to get in and out of the pool. They do have a lift chair I can use though.

I did do walking in the water as well as swimming with a noodle around my waist. Any kicking movement REALLY aggravated my pain level. Walking in the water was ok, but when I quit, I was so sore at the end of the work day that getting in the pool was out of the question.

Next time I see my doc I plan to talk to him about ideas for keeping my legs in shape. I had to order gloves for my hands when using the wheelchair because pushing it aggravates my PN in my hands some. I should receive them this week. I need encouragement during the day to get up out of the chair I think, while it really helps with pain relief, standing up periodically to stretch my legs does help.

I have looked for a system for getting it into my truck easier. I am thinking I just need a pully and some cord to hoise it high enough, then I can swing it into the back seat easier. Figuring out how to attach it is another question.
