Thanks everyone. Ruth, I have spent time in the water with dolphins 3 times: once in Hawiaii at Sea Life Park and twice at the Mirage in Las Vegas. The Hawaii swim was more about playing. We held their fins and they gave us a ride and we would wait and get a foot push up and out of the water. I found out the hard way NOT to wear a 2 piece suit during a foot push! The Mirage program is as a trainer for the day. It is ALL day and you do what the trainers do so every day is different. This picture is from the first time I did the program. They did make sure we got some great pictures but it is supposed to be more about educating people than playing with the dolphins.

Hi Jessica,
I just found your blog. You seem like you’re feeling pretty good. That is excellent! I know I felt terrible toward the end of treatment and the gym was the last thing I wanted to do. So keep up the great attitude.
Wondering from your picture…where did you swim with the dolphin? I swam with one at Discovery Cove in Orlando. It was amazing. And it took place about 4 months after my treatment ended so it was a terrific celebration of life for me. I have a picture of it on my blog.
Wishing you well as you move along.
Ruth

Hi Jessica,

Thanks for making me your friend. I am almost at the end of my treatment and have found everyone on this blog to be so supportive and helpful. I am so glad I found it and that you did too. Please feel free to ask any questions or just vent if that is what you need to do. This is a very scary process and you will need all the help you can get to get through it. Be strong, question your doctors, have a good support group around you and try to keep your sense of humor. I will be thinking of you and let me know if I can help in any way. Always, Maya
