I called last night and they had my snorkle mask, but the worker must have set it aside because they couldn't find it this morning and the worker this morning said she saw it last night too. She said it was probably in the main office, which was locked. So I'll call again tonight.
They had wire basket full of running belts just like mine, so I
convinced them to give me one my size, since they found my snorkle
equipment but probably put the belt away, thinking it was the pools. I
was honest but persuasive :) I had to swim the old fashioned way, turning my head to the side to breathe, just wearing my normal goggles, but I did the freestyle for the most length ever today: 400m. It was almost straight through, though I would hang by the side and take a couple of breaths at each turn. I did them nice and slow so as to not drown, I completed that in about 12 minutes. Then I did 100m backstroke to get to 15 minutes of swimming. My HR was 90 after the freestyle. I then walked in the pool for 10 min. I woke up this morning at 3:38 after having a dream that Marion had walked into our home the middle of the night into our bedroom and woke me up and started talking to me, but Paul was trying to sleep and I was trying to get her to be quiet so that he wouldn't be disturbed. Talk about invading our bedroom :) I couldn't get back to sleep after that. I had pain which I thought was in my SI at first and was very distressed, but then figured out it was lower back pain. I can deal with that. I was very tired driving to the pool. I hope I can take a nap today. I sure roll around at night, I am noticing. When I had pain when I moved, I was motivated to get on my left side and stay put. I slept every which way last night, even on my right side (with no SI pain- first time in weeks). PM: Went to dr regarding supplements/bone density test. She said I need to be on calcium, magnesium, potasium, vitamin D and Glucosamine/chondroitin. She said that our body absorbs 90% of calcium from milk, and 30% from supplements, so I need to continue to focus on getting my nutrients from my diet. She ordered a DexaScan, and I thought it was awesome I was able to go right over and get one. After I got it I wasn't so sure. The table was metal with a pad on top of it, and laying on it caused my good old SI pain to flare up. It hurt while on that table (I had to move around into a handful of different positions). Afterward I got off the table I felt like normal (that was 2pm), until 6:45 when my SI pain crept back, in the 2-5 range (two while doing nothing, 5 being the sharp pains when I move the wrong way). I had pain when moving in bed last night. I can't be positive it was just the table. My pain tends to come also when there is an accumulation of excess use, so perhaps the walking in the pool the last two days also contributed. I will do nothing until the pain is gone, then I'll walk in the pool again and see if it is the cause of the flare up. Coughed before going to bed and I felt a pop in my SI area. I was turned toward Paul and I was shocked and panicked. But pain felt no different before or after. I can feel every sneeze and cough in that area. Weird.
