Back in the Water

This weekend I went swimming for the first time since the BC started. Swimming has always been a place I can find solitude and relax. But I wasn't ready for how different my body was and how much one uses their chest muscles in swimming! My arms can't stretch the same distance they could prior to the surgery so the swimming didn't come near as easily as it has for the past 40+ years. That was a bit of a shock to the mental system as well as physical one. So I guess that means I need to spend more time in the pool,lifting weights and stretching to enable my arms and chest to be able to swim again...bummer.

    You will get it back to a place where it give you comfort and solitude again, I have faith in that. I miss swimming myself but for different reason. Im glad you are able to be at a point of rebuilding the strength in the areas of the surgery. Healing thoughts going your way always. Love you.
