WATER THERAPY? IS IT THE SAME AS THE WATER BOARD?

Last week my primary internist gave me a prescription which was for "water rehab" that he insisted I try out. So, today we went to the Bethesda Hospital rehab center at a YMCA in Boynton Beach that has a swimming pool they use for water therapy. Which means, I suppose that they teach you to walk on water. This should make Phil B. and JR happy that their dreams have come true. But today was simply for an evaluation of how serious my symptoms are, etc. and I start this therapy on September 8 and then every Monday & Friday. The pool is about 1000 ft. from the front door, and since I can only walk about 6 inches, there will be a wheelchair provided but no one to push it when I get in. So, I'll have to motor it to the pool on arm power of which there is not much left. If I can only use one arm to propel the chair, it means I will take a long time to get to the pool because with one arm, the chair will be propelled into a circle. This should get very interesting.

Continuing the fruitless debate about the right to express an opinion, but no right to respect for it if people disagree with it, (in my opinion, with which you don't have to agree; therefore you don't have to respect). Notice how in the last convoluted parenthetical phrase, I discretely avoided ending my sentence with a preposition. But finallly (I hope), Webster's definition of "respect" is as follows: "a: esteem b: the quality or state of being esteemed; high or special regard." Now, then, esteeming someone's opinion if you don't agree with it, having "high or special regard" for it seems silly--it's an oxymoron. Now if you really want to be "disrespectful" say "I don't agree with your opinion; it sucks to high heaven; and with that opinion, you should be arrested. Please don't bother me any more; I have to find pool shoes and a bathing suit."
