My Daddy Research Paper
My daddy passed away in May 2008. However, there was much leading up to when he passed away. It was a difficult time for many years as in the summer of 2002, his left leg was amputated below the knee due to an infection that somehow got into his leg from complications from Charcot's foot. His right foot ended up being a Charcot's foot, too, but he never had to have it amputated. He wore a big boot on that one. Then, he had diabetes and a lot of other health problems related to it. When we learned that he would need a ramp, some really good friends of mine came and built the ramp for him. However, the porch was not something that was ready for him. He needed to be able to see the porch. I did not know this, and I had no planned on doing this

It mattered that if they got ruined, it was okay. Then, two large paintbrushes and two smaller detailing paintbrushes were needed for the project. The paints used were gray house paint and yellow house paint. It was also important to have a hose and a broom to prepare. The Project The porch needed to be painted so my Daddy could see the edge well. The first thing that needed to be done was to clean the porch. This meant moving things that were on it and it also meant spraying and sweeping away any twigs, leaves, seeds, and piles, and ants from the porch. The next step was to paint the entire porch gray. Thankfully there were no certain ways to hold a paintbrush or to stroke it to paint the porch gray since it did not matter if there was a certain direction to the brush strokes in the paint. The only part that mattered was that the coat of paint seemed flat so it would not cause anybody to trip. A smaller detailing brush was used to get parts of the porch that were lined against the planters on the side of it. The gray paint then had to dry. A straight yellow line had to be painted with a smaller detailing brush to mark where the yellow line would be painted at the edge of the porch to mark it as …show more content…
Pool running is exactly what it sounds like: running in place inside a pool so that the water provides an element of force against you that is much more helpful at building stamina and strength than mere gravity outside the pool can ever hope to be. The benefits of pool running as your go-to method of exercising can potentially be enormous. The resistance of working against the water means using your muscles in a way that you may never have before when doing aerobic exercises. That force of water provides an isokinetic element that you can't get from jogging along the road. What does isokinetic element mean? It means that resistance from the water increases in a direct ratio to the strength you place against it. What does that mean? The harder you run, the more the water resists your force, thus providing even more strengthening benefits. For some, the greatest benefit possible from pool running may be that it is low impact. Those ankles, knees, thighs and other parts of the body that ache after a jogging session are all subject to far less intensive damage and pain when you run inside a pool. In fact, if you are recovering from a jogging injury and can't get outside to the street or sidewalk, you should consider pool jogging as a means for recovery. Pool running is also a good option for those suffering from arthritis. The benefits accorded the human
