(Also on my right chest and arm there, I see those blue surface viens that I think are new and are a result of collateral blood supply. When I get out of a hot shower I see them very well. Kinesio tape covers them up on chest. http://www.google.com/search?source=...ood&aqi=g7g-m2)

She says she's not a photographer and I'm on a diet.

i have had aqua therapy (for my rib). this particular therapist gave me a lot of theraband stuff and i was like, well, i can do that, but only if the theraband does not stretch (isometric).

i have also had aqua bed. you lay on this bed where water jets on the plastic sheet that is under you, giving you a water massage. that was great. the machine is quite expensive so the only place i ever saw it was at the med school. however, if you put on a bathing suit you can probably make one at home, only the water won't be heated.

i would use saw horses and two by fours, nail a tarpaulin to the two by fours. find some bored child to spray the bottom with a pressure nozzle.

Do i have your permission to print out these photos for my therapist? Kenisiotape REALLY works!

Yes you have my permission to print, copy or send, and anyone else who needs to use them. I have other tapings I used. Hubby and I will get to that. It really helped me a lot, with ADLs and training me not to overextend my injured areas.


I used to act like I was LeLu on The 5th Element. "I don't know love!" remember?

I don't do the tapings like in years past. It's funny too. My therapist put those tapings on me like she used to, and they didn't stay on very long. Used to stick like glue, up to 3 weeks, with some spots giving me trouble and would have to put back in place and hold down after showering, trim the frayed edges off. But now, most was coming off before I left the building. Is it a sign? I hope so.

Anything I can share that will help ease someone's suffering, I'm happy to offer it. We've got to stick together to get better, or as "better" as it can be for us TOSers.
