Yesterday I swam 1/2 mile plus 80 Yards in almost 30 minutes,
.

Changed strategy:

Today, I had doc appt all morning and voting, so I swam late, around noon: hence I cut it short to avoid crisis. By then, body is less functional and the pool and air are very warm. I keep my emergency Tizanidine in a cooler for that, and also same on beach day. It’s a short time, so I don’t think it degrades. What we have to do to courageously push the SPS envelope.

So, today I swam 20 minutes, 613 Yards. No problems. So far, so good.

Swam 1/2 mile plus 106 Yards, 33 minutes. No spasms.

Today swam 1/2 mile plus 133 Yards in 33 minutes. So far so good, just a momentary stretching of shin afterwards.

Swam 34 minutes, 1/2 mile plus 133 Yards. Stopped to preserve legs for a 20 minute drive. Did fine after that.

Was going surfing but my ride got sick and everyone else is out of town. Dang! The waves were small, and the thunderstorm glassed over thwaves for a bit, complete with rainbow. But I was relegated to pool swim.

So, today I swam 1/2 mile plus 160 Yards. Did this with a gorgeous rainbow over the pool that lasted 15 minutes!

Supposed to surf tomorrow. Florence swell starts tomorrow...I have rides.

Today at 4:15 a.m., 15 minutes before rising to get ready for surfing, I had a horrific spasm in my left shin, ankle. It didn’t respond toattempt to put weight on it, which has worked for small spasms in past.

So, I knew right away this was a serious SPS spasm. It felt wonky in my other leg too.

I took 8mg right away. It stopped spamming 35 minutes later, just as DH was wondering whether to take me to ER. It got so unrelentingly painful, I just wanted to give up.

So, no surfing and no swimming today...or tomorrow....

Yesterday, word got out that. 60ish old man at my surf spot, got a serious shark bite between the knee and ankle,...he is in serious condition... who knows? Maybe if I went surfing, i would’ve gotten bitten by a shark.
