I successfully swam without Thia’s assistance three times this week. I have manifested Pat, a woman who got diagnosed with MS and was told that she only had five years to live, to assist me on the post-swim end of things. It is becoming increasingly clear to me that the Chinese proverb Emily sent me about life being like an echo, really does hold true…what you put out comes back.
The conglomerate of elderly women in the locker room is eager to help me. I find this endearing. My ability to get off the Hoyer lift – and stand – is exciting! So much so that when I did, I had to pause, because I was in a degree of disbelief.
