I did it today at just after midday.
It made me somewhat breathless, but boy it felt good. I took a puff on my GTN just in case. I felt weightless and for that short time, all my joints seemed to stop hurting. I seemed to stop hurting all over. I did feel my muscles. Not exactly pain but I felt them. My eyes got sore and I felt quite wobbly when I had finished and got out.
I did 10 lengths.
I feel really rather pleased with myself.
Strangely, I was dying for a fag when I left. How odd.
Another long stretch, but hoping to be more regular

Awesome!!!!
Hmm...
If that stopped the pain for a while, maybe you should look into floatation therapy.
I know that one of my friends with a disabling back injury puts his total recovery down to it.
I know yours is not the same, but if floating takes the pain away for even a while, it has to be good eh?
I am impressed with the number of laps you were able to swim after such a long absence from swimming. I hope you continue to swim. Water is so healing.
I used to show small breed dogs in the ring too. I confess, I was a terrible handler. I was far too high strung. Occasionally, my dogs won in spite of me.
I liked showing at the non- sanctioned AKC matches, or puppy shows as we used to call them. So fun to see the youngsters strut their stuff. And trying to get them to 'pose' and not pee in the ring...hilarious!
Thanks for reminding me.
Hooray for you! Going again today, I hope? Since you've indicated nothing about the clamor attendent to you in your togs I will assume you retained your honor and good name. :)
Good for you!
Exercise and a way to feel pain free for a spell. Win/win.
The neurosurgeon advised me to swim and it's the best piece of advice I've had. I swim 3 or 4 times each week, and attend the adult lessons so that I am learning to swim properly and don't cause even more problems for myself. I hope you can keep it up and the benefits continue to ease your pain and increase your mobility. :>)
Good for you!! Swimming has got to be good for you.
