NOW THAT'S NOT FUNNY

Who looks forward to a nice soak in a whirlpool bath?

In the past, I've checked into really nice hotels to take advantage of a welcomed, long, well deserved, warm, relaxing soak in a raging whirlpool bath. Alas, no more.

And I'm sure everyone wants to know why whirlpools are now off limits. Why shouldn't we all avail ourselves of a little luxury - a nice whirlpool soak. A nice whirlpool soak always made me feel refreshed, and relaxed.

Well, read the following:

I haven't drank faucet water in a long time either, for much of the same reasons, including the fact it just taste nasty too.

The list of things I use to be able to enjoy is growing ever longer.

I'm feeling quite lucky though - I never developed any nasty infections or rashes after a whirlpool soak, but now that I know of the possiblilities - I feel icky.
