It is pretty amazing that I can comfortably swim again. About seven years ago, I had to give up swimming because of issues with an eye surgery. After having my retina reattached, something changed in my sinuses that made swimming painful--it was like someone driving an ice pick through my ear.
But recently The Coastie did something nice and got us a membership at the local YMCA. The gym has two amazing pools. So I decided to through caution to the wind and start swimming. And luckily, it doesn't hurt any more. I think time finally healed whatever was the problem.
So every other morning I go and swim laps for 30 to 60 minutes. I am so out of shape, but I'm getting better every time. First day I was hacking up the contents of my lung. Now I'm not. It's a good thing.
