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.

Yikes, Elaine, that sounds terrible! Best luck to you as you deal with it! I know you will, and terrifically well, too, because ...
Yes, you most certainly are!
:chug: Thanks, Swimosaur! Swimming, thankfully, makes my neck feel better- as long as I don't get too radical on my open turns! Swimming is probably the reason in the first place that I did not have too many symptoms of joint disease or any other neck symptoms. As long as I am moving, I feel good. The only indication I had in the past of a neck problem was no longer being able to breathe left on fly without pain; I had to teach myself to front breathe.
I was definitely a 'iaK in Sanibel during our vacation. On a few of the days, I started off with a 40 minute fast open water swim, before heading over to the recreation center for a 2,000 - 2,500 yard training session and PT in the gym. After breakfast (uhhhh, make that a late lunch...), Bruce and I went out for 2-3 hours of kayaking. I never felt better!
