Got up early today. Wanted to make it to the pool before the rain comes in. It is supposed to rain this afternoon. We went to the Clay road YMCA. The senior class was just finishing...good timing for me. William was anxious to get in and try again. He likes this pool because it is warmer that our regualr pool. I didn't even watch the time. WE walked back and forth. William was able to walk by himself. I wasn't pushing or supporting. This water has to be about 5 feet deep to accomplish this. The deeper the water the easier it is to walk. We then walked to shallower water to see if William could still support himself. But, alas, he has a tendency to sink. He wants to float. IT is alot more work to stand up tall without the support of the water. Then we went to the ramp where a wheelchair can be pushed in. This was liking the parrallel bars at therapy. We sat at the edge and did leg lifts. Leg up and then to the side. Tried to do a little sideways walkings. This supposedly strengthens the aductor muscle. Did planks and then I was told about standing on a noodle and having the foot go up and down. It helped somebody with driving a car. (a survivor that we met in the pool). I took the belt off and just put a nooodle under the left arm. William felt fine and was able to still maintain balance in he water. Especially the deeper water.

Went to Denny's for a grand slam. Then topped it off with a frosty from Wendy's. Then had to drop by CVS and pick up a couple of things. Finally home by 1PM. William and I are both exhausted. William is still resting and I am taking this time to blog. I will be getting ready for work soon. The weekend is coming up.

WE had a great day today...Lots was done. I keep trying to have William activate the quads while sitting in the chair. I have him look at the muscle as it is activated.
