read what I was able to do today :)
Hi gang,
Just had to share this moment with you. Today I went to my water therapy/exercise time at the YMCA. I have a Rascal scooter to use to get around since my knee's are shot (arthritis and bone spurs.. both knees) HOWEVER today, I was feeling pretty dang good, so I thought I should try and walk into the Y and leave my scooter in the truck. It's been several years since I walked in on my own. Prior to my scooter, I was pushed in in a wheelchair. So I am happy.. very happy to report that I walked in and walked all the way to the pool without sitting down. The therapist was smiling as were several other regulars in the pool. I know that I won't be doing this everytime, as some days are better the others, But it is nice to know I can make it without my knee's killing me... or being short of breath!!! It's been a good week for me... a very good week. I am so thankful I am gaining back "things" my life as I am losing pounds!!!
Thank you all for your support !! This group is the best !!!

Way to go, Cindy!!!!! I'm so happy for you!
You are doing so well. Congratulations on your success. You go girl. 
Cindy, Oh can I relate to this. I also have a Rascal Scooter and have to use it to get into the YMCA. I am living for the day that I don't have to use it. I have serious back issues and my knees are bad. I have gained about 100 lbs. after hurting my back. I have been riding my scooter up to the pool steps and getting in. I had worked myself up to one hour of walking and a few stretches. I had my surgery a week ago, so I won't be able to go for a couple of weeks, but I can't wait to get back. I am so happy for you, because I truly understand. God Bless you. Debra
