Ohhh dear God Jan .. I am scared to death of that whirlpool therapy! My mom had that when she had cellulitis on her leg and she ended up having two toes amputated. I dont think I could do that. I' m sorry I know you mean well. That is one HUGE reason why this stuff scares me so much. I saw it take so much out of my mom. Between the diabetes and the horrors it causes... this crap took her from me. I am terrified of it.
