I swim every morning and over the years I have come to know a couple of my fellow pool partners quite well. This one lady is 89 years old and seldom misses a day. She walks in the pool and does her version of the water zumba while I do laps. Since I have known her she has had cancer 3 times and now Has COPD. We got her hooked up with a 25 ft oxygen tubing so she can still “do her exercises” in the water with the rest of us. Today after we swam she asked if I would take her to her favorite pancake place for German Dutch Babies with real maple syrup. Several other people went with us and we had a great time. Jist one of those times when my normal WOE just went to the back burner. Though she has a lot of medical issues the going to the pool to “swim” with the rest of us is what keeps her alive. She no longer drives, so goes everywhere by bus. I help her family manage her medical care and go to many of her Dr. appointments with her to make sure that things move along smoothly. It takes a lot of community effort but we all hope that she will continue “swimming” with us for a few more years.
This wonderful lady passed away in her sleep on May 26th.
