Today we tried something new.
It was a day of clenched nerves and deep apprehension.
I was going to get in the pool at our local YMCA, something I’d practiced for a long time ago.
Time and kids got in the way, we never felt the time was right.
A few months ago my right leg would only stay under the water with a weight on my foot. I could only make my way around the pool with the help of weights, floats, anchors….STUFF.
Today I was slowly lowering myself into the water with Peter’s help.
WALKING down the steps.
Pushing my foot straight, my knee forward.
Never easily done.
Taking a step.
Take another.
Without the weights. Without the floats. Without all the assistance we thought I would need to get into the pool.
With the kids laughing, we left.
I was exhausted.
Drained.
Too pooped to pop.
Triumphant.
OMG, this is so EXCITING! Way to go Anissa!

AWESOME news! Water therapy is SO good far all of your body, and since it’s low impact I love it. Also? If your kids can swim while you’re doing it, fun for all – great news!
