"I get knocked down, but I get up again, and then got knocked down again." Day 11.
I have been busy and therefore not updating this blog. It's also been a rough few days. I've been active, but have fought through some adversity. For example, I tried swimming Thursday morning at the Erie Community Center. When switching lanes to one that had now become unoccupied, I had to clear a low-hanging water slide to get over there. However, I was not being very observant. When I cleared the slide, I stood up but had missed seeing a metal beam that is used to support the slide that was in my way. The impact was quick, painful, and produced a loud bell ringing sound that caught the attention of the life guards. At the time, it wasn't clear how serious the injury was. But low-grade nausea set in a tad later and lingered a bit. The pain at the impact sight was substantial, and I've had some dizziness for two days now. I am confident it was a low-grade concussion. Otherwise, the event was in no doubt in the category of slap stick comedy. The lifeguards checked on me
