BACK IN THE WATER

AT LAST!! Almost two months with only one swim.  After my shoulder op and 2 weeks in a sling i had a trip to Hotham for a week, then sore shoulderblade and treatment which concentrated on heat so no swimming.  then a week in halls gap and wenty after which i got a cold.  isobelle and i did visit the salties on the winter solstice swim but this week is the first time i've been back in the water. Temperature has gone from 12 to 8!!   it is really cold and i overdid it the second day, swam to the pole, hung around with ros and alex chatting and taking pics and got motion sickness on the way back.  was actually sick when i got home and went back to bed.  i'd had only 2 hours sleep the night before so it all came together to wipe me out for a day.  but i've been back in since and it's fine.  also went back to the myotherapist and he's encouraged me to swim.  it does feel so good, counterintuitive but true.
