We have a Dinner to go to. So we got a room.

Wife says great we can use pool and Hot Tub.

Well my wife was in Hot Tub while I was drowning in the pool. Finally she got me out.

She said Hot Tub would do me good. Couldn’t get out of the Hot Tub.

Did you never learn to swim in all of those years around water?

I know how to swim but it is different with one arm and arthritis.

I was at the deep end floating then couldn’t get a footing on the shallow end. Really don’t know what happened in the Hot Tub. My wife had me put my feet up such and such way, I just couldn’t get them back down.

My one Leg has been messed up for 50 years. My other one for a few years. My Doctor said I’m not to be able to walk. I guess I’m getting to that point.

 My wife has to get me out of a chair most the time and it is a job getting out of bed.. If I bounce and push with my good arm I can get up.

I thought I was doing good the other day shooting Squirrels with one hand making head shots.

They was wanting to amputate one Leg . I found a Doctor that said not yet.

I was wanting to go to a Wheelchair and my wife said no that if I did I would be tied to it. So I figured out how to get around but it is getting harder.

I have swam in about all types of water and was swimming laps in a pool until couple years ago.

So basically I’m down to one arm and figure I’m doing pretty good and have my wife helping me.

After all of the stuff that has happened to my head and neck, I wear a auto inflate PFD while I am around water.  I can get choked on my own spit if I don't swallow right.  I have not dunked or went under since the last radiation, but I know my limitations.

Don't give up, adapt and keep going.

My wife said I hadn’t swam for 2 years. What is stupid I can swim with one arm I just couldn’t flip over and get a footing.

I really like swimming but I don’t like surprises. Like with so much anymore my wife says I can’t do it by myself.

Have no idea what happen in the Hot Tub. Heck just before that I was considering getting one.

Supposed to see my Cancer Doctor and regular Doctor next week.

Hydrocodone every 4 hours.

Yea my wife said heat might have sapped me. She had my Leg up so the Jets would hit it.
