So the night before there was port and chocolate (dark bitter chocolate not the good sweet kind) but the port was delicious. As we ate I was just hoping and praying that I had done enough exercise during the day to make up for the port, champagne and chocolate.
As I stood up after that lovely tasting I felt my knee just screaming at me. Literally screaming. I did another first that day - Zumba. Zumba is horrible. I will never do Zumba again. I was uncoordinated and couldn't get the steps. If I had trouble figuring out how to kayak you can imagine the trouble I had with Zumba then times it by ten. But as I tried to Zumba I wrenched my knee a couple of times and though I didn't have any problem with walking the bending of the knee was something else.
We got to bed early but I couldn't get a comfortable position because I wanted to straighten my leg, but the cot wasn't long enough. I took some pain medications, but I really wanted my gloucasmine and I didn't bring that along. But after some fighting with the bugs and fighting with the sleeping bag I finally fell asleep.
I was really excited about the day because I was going to be working with LZ on my swim strokes. That is why were looking for the Oski pool. So I went for my morning swim and T2 went for her morning workout, and I met up with LZ in the dining hall to coordinate with her. She came up to me and said I have some bad news and my heart just sank - but all it was was I didn't have to walk to the d*** Oski pool.
I was so excited, and I got her all to myself for 10 minutes - I tell you sometimes life is just too perfect.
The lesson went well, but at the end I was trying to show T2 how the turns have changed, so I whipped my legs around to do a flip and I was sure I heard something pop in my knee. It hurt - but stopped after a while so I thought all would be good, but on the walk back I felt it a little. Then when I sat for lunch I heard it pop and the thought of sleeping in that bag again another night made my head spin - so we packed up and came home.
It was wonderful - and life changing as I hope to talk about in the future. So many new and exciting experiences.

The *&^%%^ computer ate my post for the 2nd *9&&^%% day in a row!
ReplyDeleteWow, the Lair of the Bear AND the spirit of Oski had shined on T3! What a wonderful stroke of fortune & now T3 has got her swimming mojo back! I love it!
I don't know about "Zumba" - it sounds tough on your knees, so I'd watch it.
The Spirit of Oski is with T3 & I know all about that from a first hand viewpoint! Swimming, Zumba & kayaking (hopefully TSH won't drown).
Go T3!!! Oski Wow Wow!!! Tanya Wow Wow! Go Bears!
