I pushed a little harder to do 30 laps in the pool instead of the usual 20 or 25. There were many reasons to just swim and clear the mind. Swimming is about the only thing I can do in the water now.
Well, I guess I'm a little upset. I've completed my medical and gotten pretty okay results. Of course there is a minor 'but'.
The doctor refused to clear me for any sort of diving this year. No deep diving, no 20-metre dives and not even mini freedives of 10 metres. "Haven't you done enough?" He asked. "Stick to snorkelling and frolicking in the water." Puiiiiiii.
What good would I be to the friends, their research and marine conservation without being able to dive and make tangible contributions? I need to mull over this.
In other news, the Tooth Fairy can continue to do her work. She'll be kept busy trying to grow my wisdom tooth out of the gum. The dentist said I didn't need to remove it. Hurrah! Plenty of space for it to grow. Meanwhile, it's going to be a long process of teething. I will have toothaches once in a bit when the Tooth Fairy visits.
Whatever. I wonder if I can ever dive again.
