Today, I went swimming for the first time since Sitges, in August, with Shaamela and Ann. The oncologist told me on Tuesday that I could start swimming. And I have been suffering from pain all along my left arm, with tendons that feel hard as over-strechted cables. I called my arm doctor in the morning and she said that swimming would help.
It was such a wonderful sensation to be in the water!!! I spent half an hour swimming slowly, feeling the liquid sensation all around me, enjoying every second of it. The water was extremely pleasant, comforting, liberating. It felt like another small step back to normalcy.
My arm feels a bit better now. If I am not exhausted tomorrow after this extenuating exercise (LOL--the side effects of seven months under house arrest are terrible...) I will go again tomorrow or on Sunday. It was WONDERFUL!
And, the final countdown has begun: next Tuesday is my LAST chemo session.
I. Can't. Believe. It.
