Omg! Where did February go?

Each new month for me, is like a new beginning of something significant. I feel similar pressures for self-improvement as I do for a brand New Year.

Last month, February 14th was the four year anniversary of my health change. I am glad to report that I continue to improve, I'm doing well actually. Yes, up's and down's but mostly up's, thankfully.

My most recent adventure has been advancing in swimming. In a previous blog I believe I mentioned how I've finally progressed to doing flip turns. Weeks ago I started incorporating flip turns to my 2 hours/4 days per week swim routine.

Flip turns have been a major goal. Being skilled at the quick transition of a flip, then turn, thus continue swimming uninterrupted. Wow, to be where I am now. It's so amazing. Considering I'm a fairly new swimmer. Learned in the summer of 2016. Since then, water has been a gift.

Every non-dialysis day I swim. As long as I don't have any open wounds, I'm in the pool. I was going to add, as long as I have no broken bones, but I proved that wrong. Lately I have been swimming with a fractured toe (which forced me to learn to swim without fin's - which is great). Before that, I swam with a fractured finger (which prevented me from blogging for a while).

I guess I have improved for a new month. Everything depends on ones perspective.
