My mother (82 and complete with it in all aspects of her life- she does water aerobic, housekeeping, money management, etc), who of course knows how much I love swimming, is in the hospital (very minor heart attack and until this point on no medication what so ever). When I went up to visit her at lunch she has some sports channel on TV. After saying hello, how are you, what did the docs say, etc. she says, "Look at these swimmers, this race is so strange. You just missed the women, but after they got out of the water they got on a bike!" LOL, she was watching a triathlon! How cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your mom sounds adorable. I was at a meet last month and there was a 91 year old lady swimming. Omigosh! She was sooooo cute! She would use her walker to get to the end of the pool and her daughter (who by the way was in her late 60s or early 70s) would say "OK mom, you're swimming freestyle" or "OK mom, this is backstroke." She would then get in the water and go!
One time she was supposed to be swimming 50 free, but she swam backstroke and her daughter was right there beside her on the deck yelling "MOM! IT'S FREE! DO FREE!" Well, the mom could not hear her daughter so backstroke it was.
Maybe this will be you! We'll have mommabug and laineybug!
