Shoulder surgery has kept me out of the pool for five months. I now have the go-ahead from my doc to start swimming, but I'm afraid I've lost my sewing mojo. There was a point not long ago when I couldn't wait to get back into the pool, but for some reason it seems like I'm starting all over again. When I had to stop, I was swimming a mile several times a week (for me that's a lot), but now I'm thinking I'll be good to make it one lap. I also had a bad onset of vertigo recently and I'm worried that it might come back when I swim. Though I think it was swimming that kept it from happening for so long.
If anyone has been through a long layoff, I'd like to hear how you motivated yourself to get back to the pool.
Thanks, flystorm. I don't do flips anyway because I never learned to tumble even as a kid, and I've never competed. It's just getting out there and taking that first dunk that's making me nervous. I've gained weight from the inactivity. My doc says to push myself and I'll be back in shape by the spring. But it seems so far off (maybe because it's 20 degrees here). I appreciate your comments and feedback and am glad that you are back doing what you love.
