The Y's an open door...

The Y’s an open door
Since 1844
With guidance over youth
For character and truth

 If you've ever heard or chanted that chant, odds are you've been to a YMCA camp or maybe a YMCA.

 The Coal Creek YMCA is MY YMCA. I don't go there as often as I should, but I always feel better when I do.

I used to go there to walk in the warm pool. Depending on the time of day, this could involve dodging dozens of children or having the pool to yourself. Alas, since going on Peritoneal Dialysis, the risk of infection from my catheter exit site is too great.

My workout now consists of a wonderful Precor weight machine. I don't know what it's called but it has cable pulleys with adjustable heights and switchable handles. Sitting 9n my chair, I can do over a dozen distinct exercises. And, thanks to the wonderful staff, I learn new exercises every time!

I certainly appreciate the family dressing rooms with the handicapped accessible showers. I'm sure my friends and family appreciate my more frequent showers
