    Swimming and hot tub
    I asked my person that changes my mickey button if I could swim and go in the hot tub because my friends who just got a hot tub were bugging me to try it out. She said I could. I didn't tho because since I am on my Fentanyl patch I cannot get overheated. I have to even watch how hot I make my showers. During treatment when I was on 75mcgs I almost passed out in the shower when I got too hot in there. After that I had to ask my gram or step mom to just sit in there and make sure I was okay.

    I might go to a lake in a couple of weeks may go in water but doubt I will swim. Never been much of a swimmer. Up to thighs or so to cool off.

    For those who still have the hose maybe ask about whether u can get one like I have no hose and great under clothes. So much more comfy. If you want to see what I have there is a picture of it in my expressions pages somewhere. I have pics of the first and third ones I had.

    Sweet!
    I went to your expression's page to take a look at what a Mickey Button look's like. Gee I wish I had that instead of this garden hose! It is so difficult to hide this contraption under my clothes especially on hot day's. Very cool!

    Been There, Done that
    Went swimming last weekend. I was weird about shopping for a swimsuit (none of my old stuff fits), but it wasn't as awkward as I feared. The pool felt great. Plan to swim and hot tub on vacation starting Sunday. Also plan to call doc for the official OK (yeah, I know - I should've checked before I got in the pool).

    OK to swim
    Mark's doctor gave him to okay to swim...whether he will feel up to it or not remains to be seen. But at least we know the option is there.
    Thanks for all your posts of support. :)
