Ok so I miss the NY Aqua fit spring Fling b/c of stomach virus at the weekend. I sneeze and threw out my back yeserday morning and now am staring NEM or more accurately NO-NEM in the face. I'm gonna be a bad tempered breaststroker if I can't make it to NEM. Whine, whine, whine, whine, I agreed to sore knees, sore shoulder, manky ear, brittle hair, cold water induced atrophy, blocked bugle, stinking like clorox, and looking comical doing fly. Why I gotta have lower back issues too? :'(

    ..... away from all activity and sports and swimming. rib fracture. Pain killers (Tylenol 3) and no activities for nigh on six weeks. I didn't know it, but they do not tape a chest for (a) fractured rib(s) anymore; it impedes movement (thus reducing pain) but also impedes breathing which could lead to pneumonia. :mad: :frustrated: Ahmed I've been there too. I got a knee to the ribs in a soccer match, which I finished and found out later it was cracked ribs...breathing, and rolling in bed were the 2 most painful things. Feel better. Allen. Sorry to hear that. For me it's been stomach bugs and bad weather closing the pool. I had to shovel with a sore back today because it was ice and the snow thorwer wouldn't shift it. I went to the pool but managed to loosen off a bit. Didn't have much intensity because my back was achey. Warmed up with 400 FR (50, 100, 200, 50) and did 4 x25 under water BR and 4x25 SDK 2x25 Fly 25 Fly and 25 Back (Full recovery) 1 x 100IM 200 kicks 12x 50 FR on 1:30 sprint every 4th Then 1000 FR to warm down. Back still aches. Need a massage. Better than being a couch potato...
