Hi Everyone,
I have been diagnosed with a spinal tumor in the L5-S1 region. Likely, it's benign but will need to be removed surgically. :afraid:
Swimming is my life and my love... it has always been my fallback activity to cure whatever ails me. And, on top of it all... the Masters Team I swim with has never been more engaged and my level of swimming never more intense. :bliss:
Has anyone here had any experience with getting back into the pool after a serious back surgury as this?
Any advice encouragement or wisdom is greatly appreciated.:bow:
My niece had a tumor removed from her spine in the same region. She could not get back in the water for 3 months and then it was very slow and easy. Guess a lot depends on what they have to do.
Good luck.
