One week early and I'm back in the water. I got cleared yesterday to stop wearing the brace and to swim. Only 3 weeks after surgery :cheerleader:. He said "don't do a mile or anything" so I only swam 1600 yds (kicked another 700) this morning. My left wrist is weak but can do well at free. Back was bad, *** was okay, didn't even try fly yet. Overall I felt :woot:

Great. Just great! Love the scheming though.
Alison: "Sure doc, clear me for the pool and I promise to do whatever you say. Scouts honor."
Doctor: "Ok, just don't swim a mile, or anything."
Alison(smiling): "Nope, no mile swims... (Muwahaha, 1600 is less than a mile....)"

Were you spying on my doctor's visit yesterday? You almost nailed the conversation. He said swimmers, runners and gymnasts are notorious for not waiting until healed to go back into their sport. I think I resemble that remark (I've been running since 10 days post-op - had to hold up the brace so it wouldn't hit and bruise the incision worse).
