I swim with thesharks.. tales from a sespool!

Well here we are into week 6 of swimming every morning except for two ,due to car problems one day and severe winter storm the other time.
We have swum 26 long laps every day and swallowed enough water , we can now travel thrugh the Sahara with out having to stop at the Oasis with or with out Maria Maldare
for a sip of water.
I have lost 2 inches off my waist and gained strength in my limbs and hip flex muscles.
My left thigh is still numb in the same area. That has not changed.
There are many retiries in the pool with us older by at least some 25 to 30 years, they are very funny and gracious and kind, its fun to talk to them. One gentleman Norm is leaving for a tour of China and the Sangji River to the Forbidden city and to the Great wall and on to HOng KOng, he is a sprite 89 years old and sharp as a tack. Calls Isbell and I the twins, don't know why shes aleast a shoulder shorter.
Isabell is terrific to swim with , we just jabber along and talk noneses or world news, occasionally swimming over the elderly or knocking them under the water, we are terrible at keeping to our lanes.
This Wednesday the marito is going to New Orleans, when he gets back he will have a surprise awaiting him.
8 more weeks of swimming left.................kick flutter kick flutter gulp
