Tonight I went swimming at the Roosevelt Middle School for the second time since my surgery. Oh, man, it feels great. I feel so good when I am done. My back is more flexible and my muscles are stronger and I can breathe more deeply into my lungs. I am still old, arthritic, and decrepit but I am less old, less arthritic and less decrepit than before. I find this to be much cheaper than joining a health club. I pay $3 to use the pool for 50 minutes. In the water I can swim, run, jog, leap and skip with, well, I won't say no pain but with less pain. I feel great.
