Hey- I made it to the 3 month mark.
Some good news: I have tried flippers in the pool. Sounds crazy, I know, but they are awesome! Not only can I make it down the lane in about two seconds, but they are adding to my workout in a really great way. It's quite a workout for your legs when you use flippers.
On a not so good note: A kid ran...full speed into me (and my stomach!) the other day. I was surprised how sore I got and still am...and I am bummed out because I feel like I've had a little set-back. There's this one section of muscle that was sore for quite a while after the surgery-- and although it was nothing huge, it was annoying that it hurt for such a long time afterward. Hurt isn't the right word...more like a pulling sensation in the muscle itself.
Regardless- that pulling feeling had just gone, and now it's back again and it ticks me off. I was feeling so good, plus it's a real shock to me that I was still able to get injured just because someone ran into me. I guess there's still a lot of healing taking place even though I thought it was over and done with.
Either way, I am at the three month mark as of tomorrow. It feels like such a distant memory. The surgery is still the best thing I have ever done for my health.

Damn that kid! But seriously, it does just go to show that the healing taking place is slow going.
As for the flippers, I can totally see how that would make a big difference in your workout. Not being a swimmer myself I'm not exactly sure if this is true, but I would imagine that it changes how you have to do things?
I'm glad the swimming is working out so well for you!
