Such a glorious fall day- cool but clear blue sky with a gentle wind blowing through the trees. Just a light jacket is needed.
I had my very first pool day at the local YMCA after researching for a lift and visiting the facilities. I was so amazed on vacation how easy it was to walk and move in the pool and listening to the advice of many here about their experiences (Kim, Karen, and others), I decided to find a way to get me there. So I enlisted my mother, daughter and husband to take me. Fortunately they have individualized locker rooms so my husband can actually take me and get me dressed and undressed without the hassle. Great experience utilizing the lift with the helpful aquatics staff! My legs moved as if never affected by this terrible disease. They felt unlimited to move freely. They are still stiff in need of ROM, but that's what I plan to do!
