| About | I was a competition swimmer in high school, and later learned I swam at a Paralympic level (not available at that time). It would have been great to compete with others at the same level, and not just myself. I use a walker or wheelchair to get around, depending on distance. I am currently using oxygen for sleeping and exercising. I was born with both hips and my left knee dislocated. Currently, both hips have been totally replaced and my left knee is fused. I also have allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue, COPD, fibromyalgia, migraines and sciatica. I hope to be able to financially afford to join a local warm pool by Fall 2018. I've joined this program for realistic exercise instead of continuing to wait until the pool to start exercising. |
