*Crawls into the room on hands and knees and cuddles up to the knitted Tal (Cheers Strange! You've worked your fingers to the bone here!)*

Hope we're all well today. I feel rough - it's morphine time! yippee. :( Ha.
 
Might be good for you!

Well I used to go regularly to try and help loosen my joints up but I was left wiped out for a couple of days afterwards. I used to have a lot of hydrotherapy, the water was heated to 35° there, so it helped a lot. However the regular pools aren't heated to that extent and I think that's why it helps less.

Is there a hydrotherapy pool in reasonable travelling distance? I ask because the (unheated :eek:) Lido across the park from me has an indoor hydrotherapy pool and it doesn't need an NHS referral.

BTW Him Indoors (called that because mostly housebound) was prescribed hydrotherapy at a hospital a few miles away, but passed out in chest deep water because of the warmth and the stench of chlorine. Here's the funny bit - they told him to come back when he was well! :D:rolleyes:

Unfortunately not. The only hydrotherapy pool in my city closed down a while back and the nearest is a good 30 miles away! It's ridiculous. The staff at the hospital let me use the hydro pool way longer than I should (I was only allowed six sessions, but they let me stay for 20).

I know what you mean about someone falling ill. I witnessed a guy seize in the pool. At first, we thought he was joking around - none of the patients knew he was epileptic - but the staff instantly got him sorted. No-one figured out what set him off though!

I'm going to give swimming a knock on the head today. I'm having a relatively bad day so I'm just taking it easy.

Rats! Still, you know your own limits, so here's hoping that a day or so of taking things easy will get you well enough to at least laze and stretch in the pool, if not actually swim.
 
Hey Wonky, sorry to hear you're suffering with it today, get yourself comfy (as much as you can anyway), and try to rest up for a bit. Remember, the world's greatest labour saving device is 'tomorrow' :). If you need to chill; chill. Everything else can wait. *would send :rose: but probably not appropriate*

Thanks Penuche :)

Cheers mate. I'll accept the flowers. If they can give them to the Tour de France winners, I'll have 'em. You never know, they might be tasty. :D

I'm going to go get my head down for an hour or two. I hope the both of you have a great afternoon. :)
 
Hey hey people!

I hope all is well in Lit-land tonight. I feel quite a bit better now, my pain is under control and I'm just about to get some tea down my neck.

I'll be back later :D I've got a few ideas for some writing.
