Swam 1/2 mile in 25 minutes after waking up with very bad pain in bladder, in legs, dizziness, headache, lower back pain and hip pain...at least no nausea or lightheadiness now that I am farther away from Rapiflo.
It was emotionally overwhelming and I was crying from the. Pain and the futility of it. So much of the problems are med induced.
DH told me to get anAtivan for relief inthe muscles at least.
It has helped everywhere except dizzy....I was able to cook andwalk more. I think many back issues are tied to being in wc so much of the day and trying to operate ...from that awkward position.Comment

I had a spasm in my left ankle at 3:30 am today,... then, This morning at 6:10 am I swam 1/2 mile plus 50 extra yards in 26 minutes in the rain. It’s still warm out in FLorida as TS Nestor’s outerbands comes ashore all day.
Yesterday, My surf buddy came to say hi and bring me my Surf Board, the beloved one, which was being repaired after my very last sesh in August.
THe PT was aghast that I was thinking about going back in, wha with the need to pop up quickly. sweet of him to convey concern.
Am gearing up mentally to return to surfing.
Am not ready to hang up the boards permanently...When I do, I will find a spot in the house to hang it on the wall... too many memories attached to my board.Comment

I continue to do better on taking ativan twice a day in terms of spasticity. Thus, I am able to swim more, walk more, cook more easily and enjoy company more since the pain from spasticity is greatly reduced.
I can even tolerate noise, music and good TV more.
Grateful am I.
Have been swimming daily over 1/2 mile up to 28 minutes and doing PT exercises. Walking 2’45” is my latest assignment 3x daily.
I wonder if its just BOTS that read this board, or are there real viewers who come here when they get an alert that something new is posted.Comment
