Good job working out with the bad ankle. Walking is good... sounds like you should take care not to overdo it right now. Something I see in the ER, rather frequently... some sprains are harder to heal than fractures, and take longer! Be careful! As for the hairy back.... it's not the fur "fluff" out of the back neck of shirts kind of bad is it? LOL
Linda...
Somehow, I've never pictured you looking like "cousin it!" :no Now, now... speak nicely of youself!
Almity and Roy... I'm going diving tonight... as long as the storms veer around us! I'm curious to see if I can drop any lead, since I'm down 40 lbs.

I'm in California waters so its somewhat cold in the 50s degree range. I'm wearing a 7mm suit with hood, boots, gloves, diveskin, and a vest so pretty that holds me down 20 lbs. But recently I've been sinking faster so pretty much have to go do some pool work and reweight myself again.

If I somehow go travel to Sydney and meet up with almitywife and family, then I'll be wearing a 5mm wetsuit and still carry 20 pounds of lead weight. Of course I'll still be wearing a hood, vest, boots, and skin suit because I'm scared of the little blue ring octopus and that nasty jellyfish. And if I go to the tropic like Vietnam my home country, I'll STILL be wearing a 5mm with boots, hood, vest, and skin suit. But the best part is I can use NITROX!!!!!! YAY GO NITROX!!!

but you will be diving with steel tanks... does that change the 20lbs??
its not our jellys or occys you have to worry about... its the dropbears, spiders, snakes, cone shells, stonefish and maggies you need to look out for

Workout done-
I went to the pool tonight and got in a 1 hour solo dive. There was an OW class there, but the instructor had everything under control, so I played. I only had an hour underwater, as they got to the pool late... but it was still fun! My 1 mil suit is too big now! I could feel water sloshing thru it! LOL I have mixed feeling about that... I'm happy that it's too big, but I'm sad cause I'll have to buy another one! LOL
While playing underwater, I practiced a few skills. I took off my gear, and put it all back on for practice a few times. Well... in doing so, apparently, I loosened the tank strap on the BC. So... I was swimming and noticed that my tank was slipping. So.. I stayed on the bottom, took off the gear again and was putting the strap back onto the tank when my weight belt slid up to my armpits, and my mask flooded! LOL Of course, I am hanging upside down and actively swimming down to stay on the bottom, cause 1/2 of my weights are in my BC, and the tank is 1/2 empty and trying to float up. LOL I got the strap back on the tank, the weight belt back where it was supposed to be, the BC back on, and the mask cleared... all on the bottom and on my own... no buddy! Of course none of that was planned, it just sorta happened. And I've never had that much complication at one time. LOL But I learned that I can handle it! Yay! It was actually quite the fun challenge!
