her recovery from paralysis with hydrotherapy... supervised
swimming, or paddling in the water.

Twitter with this innovative device. (If you don't know what
Twitter is, drop in at http://twitter.com and have a look. It's
an amazing social media site where you can leave comments
and make friends too!)
