walking in water by quietpurplehaze

walking in water

This is the brand new Winchester Sport and Leisure Park where I have just enjoyed a first session of hydrotherapy. The water was beautifully warm and I spent a blissful half hour, could even walk in the water pain-free.

It was not without a couple of hiccups, both created by me. We (Ray as my carer) were able to take the mobility scooter right into the accessible changing room. I was using the hand-held shower when Ray alerted me to the fact that I was also showering the scooter. In his inimitable manner, he was soon drying it off.

Once in the pool I realised I had kept my specs on so Hollie, the lovely hydrotherapist, put them safely poolside for me.

You've guessed - in the changing room afterwards - no specs. I cautiously opened the door onto the pool. A lifeguard soon came over and fetched them for me.

We had lunch in the café afterwards. I'm looking forward to next week.

What a day you have had. I am sure the people at the leisure park will remember you. ha ha.

The chap in this picture looks as though he has all the worries of the world on his shoulders, although having said that he is probably checking his phone.

Sounds like a pleasant outing and I’m sure the wrinkles will all be worked out once you are more used to the routine.
