Sue, I have missed using the therapy pool the last year I guess. It's my salvation, doesn't heal all ills, but certainly is the center of my healing process. The water temp is 94 and sooooo wonderful as soon as I stick in my big toe. I begin to relax, can feel my body letting go and all my muscles get softer and hug the water. I walk, march, do all kinds of things the PT taught me to do, and used hand weight as well. I got stronger physically and emotionally I got so much healthier. Yes, it's the socialization, but it's also doing something really good for myself, for this body. What a difference in my life.

I have an outdoor pool across the street in my condo complex. It's a good one and I used it for many years, but now I really need the warmer temps and the no sunlight.. I am very fair and burn easily, plus the heat is hard for me.

Symbicort helps me I suppose cause it's a steroid. But, I do well on it I think. I had to use the ventolin yesterday 4 times before the nurses would let me do the stress test. Don't know why this asthma is getting so much worse at this time and causing other problems. Doggone it! I fighting my emotions right now due to the stuff this last month or so and my son's situation. I'm tired of the responsibility of taking care of his meds, and can't get delivered from local pharmacy, just centralized distribution which I will not use and let it mess up his/my schedule. So, I'm on my way to p/u a refill I didn't know was ready and he didn't take yesterday or today....he didn't tell me he got a text that it was ready and so on. I'm asking his mayo nurse who just been assigned to oversee his care, coordiate it at Mayo, to see if she knows who can take over the meds. for me. May be it's gotta; be me.

Hope you get some rest in and keep enjoying the gardening and helping your daughter. I love your garden.....why don't you send a few pics for us to enjoy. I'm still working on getting some to you all. I'll get there one day...maybe.
Blessing, sue and all. Off to pharmacy and crucial care for my UTI. elizabeth think i need a urologist, don't you?

@ess77 Boy, I know what you’re saying about medications and refills! I told the doctor that it’s my biggest challenge right now! Have you ever gotten the prescription medications thru the mail? My insurance company requires me to use ExpressScripts and they are just great. I get enough for 3 months at a time and a year’s worth of refills before I need a new prescription and they take care of that, too! So ExpressScripts does half of the work and I do half and it’s so much easier! Maybe there is something like it that you could use. Becky
