I agree, I wrote in my own values, not to mention having them automatically figured for me every time by the pool calculator...
On another subject, which I'm sure needs to be moved to a different location, but I need some additional advice on rather specialized pool equipment... About a month ago, I had a very serious accident while doing some wood cutting - a big chunk of tree fell on me. The gory details can be found by searsching on my handle over on Hearth.com, but the bottom line is that in addition to a bunch of broken bones that will heal in time, I am also now a "T-5, ASIA-B" parapelegic, with limited feeling, but no motor control from just above the waist down... Currently I'm sitting in the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston, MA, and probably will be for the next 4-6 weeks while I learn how to deal with my radically changed way of life...
Spinal inujuries are a major mystery, and nobody knows how much, what or when I will get better, though there are some reasons to hope that I might eventually get some function back.
I know that swimming is supposed to be good therapy for spinal stuff, and other such injuries, and since we have one, I'd like to be able to take advantage of it... I am interested in seeing and learning suggestions about how to make use of our pool, especially how best to get in and out of it...
My time online is limited between my bodies increased demand for sleep, the way that even the simplest activities of body care take longer, and the time I spend in therapy sessions, so I may be slow to respond at times, but I WILL get to everything eventually....
