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.
Every journey begins with the first step. In this case, you are stepping into the pool. If all you can do today is a bunch of 25's with a lot of rest in between, then so be it. Tomorrow, the amount of rest you will need may be less. Before you know it, you will have your mojo back. Treat yourself to a fun new suit or swim cap for motivation.
