Learning to Swim--Day 31

Tweet

Today felt like a heavenly summer day, even though it's spring! Warm weather with sunshine and fresh air, perfect for walking in flops with no socks or coat. Hooray for spring! Today Paige and I worked more on the freestyle strokes. I warmed up with one lap of the backstroke and one lap of the elementary backstroke. Then I've did two laps of the freestyle with the cones to split up the lane. Then she wanted me to swim the freestyle with my head above the water and stop at the two cones in two distances and then at the wall. I also did one other lap just like that and finished one full lap with the breast stroke. As for the hip pain update, I did take aspirin an hour before I left for my swim lesson. It did help a bit. Per my brother's suggestion, I tried to make an appointment. But I've been told to wait a month and to sign the release papers. I did call my doctor's office to try to get some pain meds, other than the aspirin I've been taking lately. They've called while I was at--my doctor suggested to make an appointment with her to get a prescription. So I'll let you know if I do that, when I hear back from my brother.
