The pool!
Maybe this will be all that I talk about for now. We went and picked up sushi and hot dogs for lunch, nothing could have been better.
Ended up at the pool, and.. I'll just talk about it. Yesterday at the pool, I did 8 laps. I'm not sure what to aim for... the doctors are always so encouraging of more, just more, and I never know what to aim for.
I was thinking to try aiming for 30 laps a week? I don't know.
I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for July 9th.
I did 4 laps, and I thought I might be done for the day. I was a little tired, and I was scared.
It was still very early in the day. I got out of the water, and took a break. I sat there, and wondered if I was done, just took it easy.
In the end, if I end up in the hospital before July 9th, I can't view it as a complete failure. I'm scared that it will happen, and I probably will feel like a failure if it does happen, but I cannot be scared to go if it feels necessary.
Well, my energy came back, and I went back in the water..
I not only did swimming, I also walked in the water... after the 4 laps, I suddenly was just... doing more?
It turned out to be very nice to go back and forth between swimming and walking in the water... so I ended up doing several laps where it was... swim one lap, then do some walking in the water, and then swim another one, and continue, and I ended up doing that up to about 8 laps.
After that, I took another break and got out.
At that point, I actually felt like I could do more, and I wasn't scared anymore.
It's a little scary still, if you knew how bad it got last year... it was like my heart was stopping. I was sitting there in a recliner, and moving was not easy. I felt like I wasn't sure if I'd make it. I was cold.
But, I had the energy, and I decided it was best to give it my all to whatever point made sense.
When I went back in.. I was ready to try multiple laps... I never did more than 3 laps in a row... but I was doing 2 laps in a row... and I got up to 15 laps done!!!
It was all just the doggy paddle for the most part lol.
For one final set, I did a half a lap doing swimming with my head under the water, that was fun, but it also scares me lol. I had a very weird thing happen to my right ear. It was suddenly like extremely clogged, couldn't hear anything, and then just flooded out cleared.
So, mostly 15 laps plus some walking in the water. I think we were there for maybe 2-3 hours? Not bad!
At the end of the day, I still had energy. I have a cute RWB anime shirt, so I wore that, and went to the 公园 and did a sparkler, what a nice ending to the day.
At my last doctor visit, I got diagnosed with plantar fascitis, as I was saying before.. it's perfect timing for the pool, because it's a different activity than walking, for using the legs etc.. but I think it has to be healthy to still keep at least some walking up. Generally want to keep it light for now, and am grateful for the pool being open.
