Captain Nemo, thanks for answering my question. I found out some of the same information myself, ie. that it would be fighting an uphill battle. I found out that it is your responsibility to get an appraisal of your property done before the improvement, followed by one directly after. Then you only get to make a deduction on the amount that the improvement cost minus the increase in appraised value of your property. Now, you've raised the issue of recreation vs. medical use. Seems like it would be more hassle than the potential tax savings are worth. Thanks for your time in constructing a detailed answer though.
