No, not talking myself out of it, SRS. I actually have been looking forward to it. I do think I have a little anger at the OTs there who have offered no help/suggestions about gripping with the sore fingers, etc. but maybe they have to have a doc's order to do so. Now I've been to the doc, I will talk with them and see what we can do to adapt. The good thing about where I go is they monitor BP, pulse and O2 sat. rates during the hour. There is another gym with the hospital which I can "graduate" to when I get the 12 weeks done with this one, but I would have to pay for it while insurance is covering all of this. I will be looking into the pool there to see what they may offer for exercise. My girlfriend doc told me of one down valley, but that'd be too far for me and take up too much time, plus no medical monitoring.

Andrea, sounds like a real, but good, mess, in that it will lead to just what you want! Good luck with getting some water on.:-)

Can't get into the dentist until tomorrow and it's not the guy I like best, but it'll be okay.

Did a bunch of pick up and put away this morning (instead of editing:-<) I will do that this evening, I hope.
