I know I have not posted a lot since my surgery, but this is a update.
I started lap swimming just over a week ago. I have only been in the pool three times so far, but 600 yards, 1K, and 1K have been good.
I am NOT swimming non-stop at these distances, but will swim 100 yards, and stop and catch my breath, then do another 100 yards.
Yesterday was for sure better than Thursday, when I went 1000 yards for the first time since May.
I have done no cardio since May, and it shows, but a start is a start. Being in the pool doesn't stress my joints like other cardio can. I have not started even light weight lifting yet, but I will in a week or two.
The physical therapist thinks I should be ready for the knee replacement surgery (same leg) by mid-April.
My calf area is still very weak, but I am not in pain.
I actually am ready to go shooting again, but weather and other responsibilities have hampered me so far.
SEB stuff has been extremely busy-This is not a complaint.
Just this past week I have been contacting people for WY-SHOT, and I am pleased with the number of shooter's who are planning to attend.
Around 15 will be first time shooters.
I have made a deal, and within a couple of weeks I will have one of the rarest specialty pistols in my hands.
I am literally giddy over this. Until it is in my hands, I am not going say what it is (You guys can guess all you want though
It has two barrels. One chambering is very common in rifles and in specialty pistols, while the second one is rare in specialty pistols, and not common today in rifle. The odd one is a big bore cartridge. I will need to get dies, as I have never had a gun chambered in this cartridge.
Also, I will be getting several center-grip stocks back this week with Arca rails attached... Time to get busy learning to shoot a center-grip XP-100 off of a tri-pod!
