10 / 10 for courage

Karen, congratulations for going to the pool. I'm sure that we can all understand your fears and your concerns that you would not be seen as just another body in the water....but you were...its strange that we all want to be different and at the same time just ordinary.
You are neither of these...you are YOU and a Special You as well..I'm sure we all would have been proud to have been there...but we were not ...you Did It On Your Own.
Good to read that you came out of the water when your body told you it was time,..smart move, it will make going back easier.

A little tale about antique furniture...take a look at all the chips and cuts and stains, ...all the little , and sometimes big repairs..all this makes that old Colonial chair so cherished and valued,..because on top of all the chips and scratches you'll find that layer of polish ..that is the love and care that makes all the damage so much more of value.
Look around...they all have the beeswax out..even people you dont even ,yet know.

Take care

Jacuzzi or steamroom

I'm in my hot tub twice a day for years and the pacer didn't slow me down. I've also used both steam and dry saunas. No problem with any of them.

I swim regularly and go in the jacuzzi and hot tub, sauna and steam room, just dont overdo it.

I am always a bit careful that the jets in the jacuzzi arent positioned straight onto my pacemaker because my rate response is on, but to be honest I've had no problem whatsoever.

Enjoy!!!

But I think it will make me feel a lot better. My stamina to walk is already better, even right after surgery. They had me walk all around the floor before they would release me. I did so without being exhausted and winded the way I had been.
