Hi Laurie My lovely wife works as a PT aide part time. She is in a pool 3-4 hrs a day helping victims of strokes, accidents, and surgeries regain their mobility. She has explained that they use floatation devices (long tubes like I've seen at Wal-mart) to support the patients under their arms then take them out in deeper (6') water where they can do their exercises. IMHO it would be a great asset. You could see if insurance would pay for it if the Dr would write a Rx for it.
