I just totally enjoyed my first day of aquatic physical therapy. The PT said, "You haven't stopped smiling the whole time." I couldn't believe how much I could do in the water without pain, without having to guard myself to keep from falling, and without being aware of every movement. It's been 4 yrs since I could even walk my dogs a short distance. I knew I was pretty weak, but had truly forgotten what it was like to move in so many directions. And I didn't realize how weak I was, that even moving in water was difficult.
Getting out was a different matter altogether. (WHO increased the earth's gravitational field at 10:30 am today?) I can't believe that pre-Wegs I could swim for hours and then just spring up out of the pool like it was nothing to transition to land.
Thank goodness my JHU rheumy said to do this--
