I tried water skiing!

[JazzysMom]

OK for those of you who know from my postings its been a rough year. Most recently with hemoptysis, but fortunately as quick as it came it went. Yesterday I attempted to water ski for the first time in my life. I was nervous, but excited. I didnt do very well. I got up out of the water into a "crouch" type position, but couldnt stand up. I tried 5 times total. 2 times I couldnt hold the rope & the other 3 times I just didnt have the strength/stamina to get it all the way. I was tuckered out & am quite sore this morning, but determined to try again. My husband I just might not have enough strength back from my problems this year, but he was proud of me for trying. The good news is that I wasnt out of breath. My concern was running out of breath too quickly considering the problem with airway closure for me this year. I guess that is really good, huh?! Yeah for me!!!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Sounds like you did GREAT! Waterskiing is VERY tiring! When I first learned, someone told me that getting up was just like getting out of a rocking chair-lol kinda similar but I usually have no trouble getting out of a chair! Anyway, I love to waterski and hope that Sydney gets to do it someday too.

Nice work & thanks for sharing!
