Pool tile tell-all

Chaya's therapeutic pool at Keren Or is still closed for repairs. If it weren't for that magnificent wetsuit we bought her on line, I'd be positively apoplectic. 

But out of curiosity, I inquired about the "renovations for safety" that the hydrotherapy enterprise gave as its reason for the closure. An administrator at the special ed school where the therapy pool is housed (Chaya's alma mater) shared the truth: Falling tiles from the pillars in the pool area. 

Yikes, I thought. What sort of professional therapy pool is that? 

Fortunately the pool was empty when it occurred but the re-tiling job has proven to be involved and lengthy. 

On the right, I posted a photo of one of those potentially lethal pillars.

And here below is Chaya last week during her fourth session with the wet suit. 


Once again, she started out seizing, but calmed down in the water and ended up floating and kicking beautifully.
