Learning to Swim--Day 33

Today was a gorgeous day to wear flip flops and no jackets. Totally lovely and warm since it feels like spring. The walk was a pretty good one today to go to the gym and have a good workout in the pool. Once again, I warmed up with a lap of the backstroke and one lap of the elementary backstroke. Then I've worked on the freestyle--I did 4 laps of the freestyle (laps split in halves) and not totally a full lap. Then I've worked on 2 full laps of the breast strokes to close out the lesson. Paige said she might be a bit late on Thursday afternoon's lesson, when we'll work on breast strokes. On another note, my referral to see my new neurologist came through this afternoon. I'm glad I don't have to wait 3 weeks to make an appointment. I'll let you know if and when I do. As for Upwork, I did get paid for this past weekend's assignment.

Hi Hanni. I've been experienced a bit of lower back pain and left hip pain for about a month. Since my original neurologist has changed hospitals, I had to call my PCP to get a new referral.

@Hannihar It's ok. Swimming does help a tiny bit. Aspirin, heat and ice does too.

@KristenH I am very sorry. Does the swimming help it or does anything help it?

I've never learned how to swim, but it sounds like you're doing a fantastic job!!

So glad you don't have to wait for appointment. I always hate the "waiting" game!!

The water must feel cool after strolling in the sunshine.

Wow! It's close to 80 over here. Time to take a dip in the pool to cool off.
