last week and a half

so pretty much the only cool thing i have done in the last week and 1/2 has been floating the canal (don't think i'm technically allowed to this yet). i have only gone 6 times :). i'm freakin addicted!!! but it is soooo calming!!! it's like taking an ice bath and after it you feel relaxed and refreshed.

i also started weights. it totally sucks. i have to get up at 530am to get there by 6...ugh!!! i never get enough sleep on those nights. just last night i didnt go to bed until 3am and then had to be up for weights the same morning. not smart...at all!!! i've been making up my sleep all day...after we floated the canal...twice :). super fun.

the first time i went on the canal with my guy freinds had me convinced that there was a 15 foot waterfall. it was soooo bad i was about to cry the further we floated. i was worried about my knee. what if i wasnt able to land it and i feel out of my tube awkwardly? but that was all after i hit dustin's sunglasses off his face in to the water. he maade me sit off to the side of the canal while he searched for them. after the first time he searched the tunnel area i told him to look further down it, but his stubborn, stupid head kept looking in the same area like 3 times. by the time he gave up looking for them and i was shivering we started floating again. he found his glasses about 30 more yards down the canal. I TOLD YOU DUFUS!!! it physics (or at least some kind of dcience). with the current and the weight of sunglasses they wont imediately sink to the bottom. it will sink with a curve, as the glasses sink, the current pushes it further with the current. DUH!!!!!!!!!!! and then further down the canal my tube started to float into the rocks on the side, so i pushed off of them. well i guess i pushed a little too hardcuz i bummed into dustin and he hit a sharp part of the cemment wall. his tube popped. there is now a hole the size of a quarter on it. whoopsies!!!! not my fault though :)

oh as for my knee i now have 146 degrees of motion and am movin along in my rehab program. and i am dooin only upper body wieght workouts. im not even allowed to carryy dumbells heavier that 7.5 lbs to my station (a bench). any heavier and i have to ask for someone to get them for me. i feel like a lame duck sometimes, but its slowly getting better :)

i have no idea what week number i am at for my knee. i stopped counting after 8 weeks. the numbers got to big and i have no idea when my next landmark date is...so there is no week to count down to. i'm still months away from even thinking of playing basketball again...
