I was away for a weekend with my family - first one since the accident - and went to go into the shallow end just to float around. As I entered I found I could NOT keep my balance. Every time my husband let go of my hands, I fell backwards. I tried to focus really hard and it happened every time. I really wanted to do pool therapy but I don't see how that is an option now.
