I’m going to have to cut back on my Aqua Therapy sessions.

Because our company doesn’t have “sick days”, each time I go to aqua therapy or for my IVIG, I have to use my vacation time. I wonder about this, but I’m not going to argue the issue.

I have less than 20 hours of vacation time left over from last year and I need to save this year’s vacation time for anything (God forbid) that may up and I would like to be able to take a couple of “real” vacation days this year.

I need to consider going back to Pullen Park Pool. They have a therapy pool, but it’s not the same as the one at Wake Med.

The therapy pool at Pullen is in the same area as the regular pool, so the water temperature (and the area around it) is not maintained at a constant rate, and the depth of the water varies because of the way the pool is designed (deepest corner is 3 ½ maybe 4 feet); I’m not going to be able to work out the way I need to.

I could use the 4 foot lane in the main pool. The water is cooler, but as long as I’m moving, I should be okay. Getting in the water is not going to be a problem; it’s being able to get out of the pool. Pullen doesn’t have steps or a lift in the main pool; you get in and out with the ladder.

The main issue is that Pullen is open after 5pm, it’s here on campus and I can go right after work.

I’m doing real well and I want to keep “holding my own” for as long as I can.

Decisions, decisions.
