Starting to really like this pool therapy...

December 16, 2008

Starting to see results from my pool therapy now, getting some

strenght in my legs... they don't shake from weakness when I go down

the stiars, and some days are starting to pop up with low pain... I

still have bad days, but I am starting to have " some " good days.

Tried to go shopping with my husband the other day, but my hips and

my knees couldn't take much at all. I'm thinking because of the

arthritis. It was quite bothersome. But when I got home and layed

down, it was a bit better. Not to mention another pain pill to help.

I wonder how long they let you keep doing pool therapy for??? I

think I am on my 5th week I think. This is the longest I have been

able to do therapy! Some days are still rough when I find myself

wanting to do more than I am able, when I get that itch for more

independence. Last night was kind of scary though when I was trying

to go to sleep, every finger except my pinky on my left hand went

very very numb. And I had a hard time getting it to go away. Usually

I can just move my head around and reposition myself and it will go

away. I guess this is something I should tell my doctor about.

Atleast it wasn't with as much pain in my hand and arm this time.

More in my neck. I don't know what this stuff means.... I'm hoping

my doctor doesn''t brush this away... I don't think it should be, it

feels important to me.

I wanted to go shopping today, but my hips and legs feel to tired,

and my back was pretty iffy last night... I'm just tired, my stamina

doesn't seem to be getting to much better. Somebody posted about

seeing an endocrinologist? I think I will... My hair just wont quit

falling out, and it is falling out in strips. Scary. I think I have

lost about two thirds of amount of hair I have. I used to have a LOT

of hair.. I brush it before I shower and there is a lot, after

shower, and more. And then a whole mess when I dry it. I now have a

wide part in the front of my head But it is still growing too.

WEIRD. Just wish it would stop.

Sue.
