This winter wasn't so bad thanks to my Thermapool...

It's been a cold winter here in PA. and lots of snow which keeps me in the house a lot.  My scooter doesn't work in the snow, can't get wet from rain and being outside in the cold makes my joints and muscles ache and burn which is very painful.  Having a progressive neuropathy is painful in itself, then the bitter cold just makes it worse.  Needless to say, I would rather just stay in unless I need to run errands with my caretaker.  Having my warm water thermapool in my basement the last year had make my winter not so bad.  I'm still able to workout, walk, swim and dance in my pool whenever I want!!  It's changed my life and made me even more health conscious then I was.
My general health has improved and I finally quit that nasty habit of smoking!!  I will never touch a cigarette again!!!  I feel better every week and eating more fruits and greens.  It's been a goal of mine to quit smoking and eat more green and well I DID IT!!!  I'm so proud of myself and I know my thermapool plays a big part in my healthy choices!!  Those who watched the documentary about my life called "Bernadette," know I had that one bad habit of smoking and now I want them to know I quit for good!!!  CMT has progressed the last 5years since the film was released yes, but I am slowing down the progress and fighting this disease with ALL my heart..everyday!!!  Just getting in warm water, the hydrostatic pressure feels so good and healing.  I'm so grateful for this amazing sponsorship!!!  2018 so far has been my healthiest and strongest which keeps me happy and my spirits high!!  Thanks Thermapools for believing in me!!
 Cheers to healthy living even with a chronic illness!!  #Dadwouldbesoproud

It’s been a little over a year since my last post on here!!  Time sure does go by fast!!  I’m happy to report my ThermaPool is still up and running great!!  My aqua therapy sessions usually last about 2 hrs or a little less, 5 days a week on average!!  It’s been 3 years now that I’ve had my thermapool and it’s changed my life and health in so many positive ways!! It’s also helped other people in my life get healthy and strong! Life with an indoor pool still feels so surreal, especially on my bad days when I need it the most, I get in and feel instant relief physically and mentally!!  Just being on my feet and out of that chair is a relief and a blessing!!  I realize I’m not getting better, in fact I’m getting worse because I’m fighting a progressive disease but I can feel this pool therapy is preserving my body as much as possible...helping me fight this illness as best as I can!!  I’m so thankful everyday for this sponsorship! In the past, I’ve poste...

Exhaust fan and dehumidifier in...I'm all set

Having an indoor pool requires a few things to keep your house safe from moisture and mold.  One, Paint all walls with High gloss paint.  This keeps your walls extra safe from moisture because of the gloss.  Two,  Get a dehumidifier for your pool room!!  Three, Get a high speed exhaust fan built or placed in a nearby window to help the moisture go outside!  This exhaust fan helped my pool room tremendously but doing all three is the safest way to keep your house safe and worry free!  Also, keep the pool cover on when not in use.  It will keep the heat and moisture in the pool and save you money in the long run!  Here are some pics of the exhaust fan...

And 10 Years already since I suddenly lost my Dad! Losing my physical strength so quickly and my dad all at once was so hard on me...The hardest I can remember, but it lead me to today...a promising and positive 2019 to look forward to!!  My Dad was my hero and my best friend and I miss him everyday but carry his spirit in my heart with a smile! I know he would be the happiest father knowing all I accomplished for CMT awareness, Inclusion for us with disabilities, my Thermapool sponsorship and so much more....I have some big projects up my sleeve for 2019...😎  My favorite part of being in my warm water therapy pool is walking and dancing on my own to my favorite oldies songs..I get to utilize my entire body again and it Never gets old. This December I kicked some serious butt in my Thermapool.  Averaging 6 days a week,1 1/2 hours in 93 degree water doing all kinds of workouts and body movements to keep me as strong as possible especially during these cold days which t...
