I'm one of those adults who was deathly afraid of the water because I never learned how to swim properly and ended up nearly drowning as a teenager. Why I ever signed up for my first triathlon is beyond me, but I got through it and I was hooked! This is a wonderful thing you're doing - you've got my support. <br /><br />By the way, you're making amazing progress!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517808963005509046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22042324.post-65048029604189855002010-07-18T13:09:43.791-05:002010-07-18T13:09:43.791-05:00congrats Carrie!

I am scheduled for a hip arthroscopy for a labral tear on July 20th and after all of the scary tales out there, I found your blog an honest, funny breath of fresh air! I resemble your former chubby self more than your current fit self, but earlier this year I had lost 15 lbs and was feeling great and then the tear happened on the elliptical machine. UGH. I look forward to following this blog and hope my recovery and more importantly attitude, can be as good as yours. Thanks again!Mandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22042324.post-27057409900844903012010-07-06T11:18:54.947-05:002010-07-06T11:18:54.947-05:00Even worse, you're a vegan Sue Sylvester.

I know it feels like these are little steps, but as someone who reads your blog, checking in pretty regularly, i must say these are huge steps you are making. Seriously. It's somewhat a relief that you waited so long for the surgery, and that the recovery isn't that long, if you think about it. <br /><br />I'm probably not making any sense. I've been waiting for my surgery for so freaking long, and it's a relief to me to think that my recovery will be waaaaaay shorter than all this waiting. If I recall correctly, you've waited for your surgery (planned, etc) for a year, and here you are!!! Balancing on one leg!!!!

I've been busy with school, work and physical therapy. <br /><br />I was thinking of doing a charity swim I did last year, but it's a much longer swim. It's across the Long Island Sound. I didn't do it solo, I did it with 4 other people. Unfortunately I just don't have the time to raise the $2,000 or so they want us to raise. <br /><br />I've been doing 500y with my legs & then the rest with the pull buoy. I wish I got myself into the pool earlier than I did. You can do it! The pool is the only place I feel like I can move and get a "real" workout! Very therapeutic. Take the time to do the water walking! It really helps!hstrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288828174789621595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22042324.post-20886948457364605392010-06-22T16:42:00.028-05:002010-06-22T16:42:00.028-05:00Awesome!
