Life as a High School Swimmer

Instead of doing this at a swim meet........



you get to do this,

because you have this (Tendonitis).

*****
Yes Oldest has tendonitis (and a little brusitis) in his shoulder. More then likely caused by swimming. There are a few swimmers on the team with the same problem (not all in the shoulder). Well they do swim 5 days a week, 2 hours a day, for about 5 months, I am not surprised. He timed at last weeks meet, per Docs reccomendation to take it easy until the Region Swim Meet next week.

Doctors orders:
Ice, Ibuprofen, ice, exercises, ice, rest and ice.

His goal:
Regions this Thursday and Friday.
He is working hard and we wish him LOTS of LUCK!

Ah man! That stinks! I bet some rest will do the trick. I'll send a little prayer his way!
