Hi Joan, yes she did say that the hydrotherapy pool, would be good for me but sadly its too far away as I have no transport.

HI Mike

Hope you can manage the exercises and maybe
if you see a physio from the rheumy dept. it might
be helpful too.

Wouldnt the hospital provide Patient Transport to the
hydro pool?
Maybe you could enquire, you never know.
Its part of the recommended treatment then maybe they
can offer it. Fingers crossed.

Hi Mike

I hope the exercises help you. I know what you mean about being stiff..........!!! I don't think I've been able to bend my knees properly for over three years. I wonder if this will get better once I've had TKR?? Who knows?

I have you and Hazel are ok. I'm aching all over today - it's the rain.
