Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hi, Well if my progress is anything to go on the pool work will be the answer to most potential recovery issues........ Now at end of 9 months I can get my leg to swing a flipper through the water............. While most can probably do that at one month I still think it a major miracle for me after 35 years of atrophied muscle due to a fused hip joint............. water work certainly pays off............ and in my case leaves me feeling and looking so much healthier............. only had someone this morning yet again tell me that they simply cannot believe how young and happy I look compared to this time last year, (with tears in their eyes).............. now tell me what woman doesn't find that sort of statement great.............smile And good luck with your operation.............. may you enjoy that chocolate the others speak about.......
