@@dararose_ecawarenessI would love to connect with you.
What happens if you’re upside down?
Most would advise against this.
@@dararose_ecawareness thanks. I imagine anything horizontal or swimming would not be advised. I guess scuba diving is out of the question too.
@@NOWWECAN I recommend consulting a treating physician on safely enjoying all recreational activities during and after treatment. Thank you for your feedback.
@NOWWECAN I can swim. Can do most activities just laying flat for long periods of time (falling asleep) is not good for me but everyone is different. Thanks for reaching out.👍
@@PatrickMinno thanks for taking the time to respond. I really do appreciate it.
