3/1/12 – Started Aqua Physical Therapy. I’ve done this before and it was the BEST. My joints and body don’t react very well on land therapy. This is gentle, therapeutic and soothing rather than evasive. I feel better being able to move in the water. The water is a constant 98 degrees and you get better resistance when you are in the water. I also get to do spine decompression by hanging in the deep end. I almost have no pain in my back being able to suspend in the water. I want one of these things built in my house! (Pain level 6)

3/2/12 – Why is it that people look at you and don’t see anything wrong with you and determine that you aren’t in pain or hurting? I had some person say, “you look fine, you gotta get off your butt and suck it up”. Where is the compassion for people? I don’t get it.
