Hey there, its been awhile since I tapped in. But excited to share some interesting developments with my progress First off I had my Ischemic stroke on Dec 24/2022. A great Christmas present eh? My advice is don’t piss off Santa! He used to put a lump of coal in the socks if you had been naughty and not nice…If you are either of those he has taken it to a whole new level!! Be warned.
Anyways, I purchased a Spa tub 2-person. I climb in to it in the morning and then again at night before bed. The morning soak (39.5 degrees) relaxes my body. The jets perform hydrotherapy on any part of body I choose.(think reflexology as well) I have recently started an aqua-fit stretching routine in the tub as well. I stay about 20-30-minutes-what ever one can tolerate.
I emerge feeling totally relaxed and can do far more after it. The nightime soak has improved my sleep time immensely. I go 7.5-8 hrs uninterruped sleep. (yes Ill say - no middle of night piddles most times) I have read the bladder/kidneys benefit from this. Before I bought I used the local recreational centres public pool (and the neighbors tub when they were away or sleeping ) either way it works for me. Maybe for you as well.
A recap. I am 75years young/married/grandkids/good support/ I walk -5 kms per day with my pouch. My stroke was also left side but I have overcome much there. I have a mild case of disphagia (my steaking eating days are behind mr).there are a few other nigglies that came with the stroke bonus pack but will save thoughs for another day. ps did I mention I am Canadian and live in Vancouver BC ciao Gerry
and thank you for sharing.
i love to go in the spa after our weekly gym session with our pt.. it works wonders..
