Water Therapy...45º

Friendly faces, old and new, catching up on everyones summer and plans for the winter...Travel, animals, moving, children, grandchildren, vacations, company...Scattered along the pools edge are kick boards, ankle weights, foam dumb bells and noodles...Some ladies in the deep end bobbing in continual motion, others in the shallow end walking, bending, stretching...The water gives us freedom to move without pain, creaky joints loosen as we languish, buoyant in the water...I see smiles almost everywhere, two ladies are back pre-surgery, they grimace with each step finding little relief even in the water....Hip and back surgeries are scheduled before the month is over, then they will be back, first for physical therapy (in the water) and then to join us again and work on their recovery...Voices, laughter, we are happy to be back...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
