The PM dr. told I could swim if I wanted to. It just brings flashbacks of in my early 30s going to a swim class and basically doing "Sit and Be Fit" exercises in the pool with the people from the Sr. center. I suppose if I put it off long enough I'll fit right in. I would love to take reformer pilates, but it is cost prohibitative. I've tried pilates at home with a DVD, but it's just to hard for me to get around with a bum leg and bum arm. I need a little help that I think the machine would provide, naming not having to get up and down from the floor. I ain't pretty!

I think once the surgeries start, the arthritis is inevitable. My neck is full of stenosis. But I worry that the surgeries to decompress it will only create more stenosis since arthritis is an auto immune disorder. Catch 22.

Did you ever finish school Theresa? I remember when you were doing so much.
