Backstrokers unite.
We know every detail of the ceilings where we train unless it's the sky which is ever changing.
We SDK every day. It's breath taking.
We go forwards in reverse.
We get to flip over on turns. We gotta stay on our back.
We swim back. We kick back.

While I am here in The Backstroke Lane, as an update to my previous posts about improving my bucket turn, I had to give it up- at least for now- and return to a more conservative open turn. :bitching: The torque on my neck was increasing pain I had started getting while doing PT exercises with weights to strengthen my trapezius muscles. My physical therapist recommended getting neck x-rays which ended up showing severe joint and disc disease at C2-7, bridging bone growths at C2-3 and C5-6, a curve in my spine to the left, and too straight of a spine from front to back! :eek: My doctor immediately went to work on getting me a referral for a consultation; my appointment is on Friday.
Sheeesh; if it's not one thing, it's another! :censor: I may have inherited a rotten set of genes, but I am still- and always will be- Elaine-iaK! :bliss:
