So today was pretty standard, just learning some new tunes on my guitar, playing on the xbox etc. but there were a couple of good things that happened, I've got an appointment with my gp on friday to try and get either stronger painkillers or sleeping tablets, also I've got an appointment to see work's occupational health nurse at the end of the month, which means that if they declare me unfit to work in the warehouse but fit to do jobs that aren't as tasking physically work will have to find me full time hours on another department to fulfil the terms of my employment contract, so hopefully it means I won't be off work for more than the 3 months I've already been off for, also I went swimming for the first time since I used to race so it was a bit weird wearing normal swim shorts instead of my old fastskin style jammers, it was however the first time I've confident in a pool with people looking at me as last time I weighed 10.5st (66kg) and now since I going to the gym to attempt to start playing rugby as a Openside Flanker/Number 8 so to play senior level I needed to gain a lot of weight and I'm now even after losing almost a stone and half being unable to lift around 12st 4lb (roughly 78kg) so where before it was sort of look at people laughing at me for my size (very slim) now I've sort of gone back to my old rugby playing build I couldn't care less what people think of my body, if you like it then good, if you don't i'm not too bothered, so when i was competing in competitions inc. one regional meet I was always placing and won team medleys with me swimming the backstroke leg, so I must have been pretty fast but now even with only one leg which works I've gone faster without as much effort or getting used to my breathing rythms again. That's Today summed up for you tomorrow is probably going to be more boring and more painful after the abuse my knee got today in the pool with me practising my old breastroke turns, but don't forget to check in as even I don't know what I'm going to do next half the time, in the meantime head over to @BePositiveAday and remember to Stay Positive.
