Butterfly, beautiful to watch, difficult to train.
We SDK off every wall.
We're most likely to smack hands with each other and those beside us.
Fly's fun to sprint but no fun when the piano comes down
What did you do in practice today?

Thanks, Elaine. I'm doing great from the TOS part of the surgery. I'm a month out, no pain, good ROM in my shoulder, and arm strength better than before surgery.. Unfortunately, the swelling post-op at my neck pressed on a nerve to the vocal cord on that side leaving me quite hoarse and with an exaggerated cough reflex, which makes the idea of being in a pool a bit scary. Could be this way for several month's more, but it's a fair trade for having my arm back again and no pain. If it weren't for the cough that comes out of nowhere, I'd feel like I could start swimming again (though it would be against my surgeon's orders).
Glad you clarified that for Swimmer Magazine. I wonder how many of us TOSers are out there?
That's great news about your strength and range of motion. You are well on your way to 100% success! :applaud: The cough is a unique side effect; I haven't heard of that before. But, the small group of us who went through a rehab class together all had different post-op issues that eventually were resolved. I'm sure it will be just a temporary issue for you and you will be back in the pool before you know it!
Take care and good luck! :cheerleader:
