A Second Brief Splash & Kick at the Harbor Late This Afternoon


I felt good today. Did my little neck surgery isometric exercises; stretched the hamstrings & low back a skosh. I thought I'd add this selfie taken after the chilly swim.






I have one eye that doesn't follow nerve commands, the right one. The right corner of my mouth/lips don't either. Bell's Palsy, permanent version. Oh well, this wrinkly face isn't entering any beauty contests.
The 60-degree water was at an extreme low tide and just turning about as I got in. Beautiful, crisp water that does a brain good. My wetsuit, a 2 mm, is too small. Do those things shrink or am I getting fatter?
It's so tight on my chest that I had difficulty breathing. I'm giving up on it. I hate trying to buy a new wetsuit. They're all made for skinny humans, really skinny.
At home tonight my low back is hurting from kicking with fins. Rehab is a slow process when one is old. 
I love cold salt water! 
Making progress, folks.
