Hi Lori, I am about 5 days post girdlestone surgery (still in hospital). I'm so encouraged to hear that your husband is having such a great experience with aqua therapy. When he swims, can he be independent ? Or does he have to have a therapist with him? Does he swim laps? I'm and avoid swimmer and I'm learning to get back into the pool. Also, I was curious if there was an explanation your husband has been given for his continuing pain. Thanks from one of the newest members of the club..
