It's fun to play at the YMCA!



Recommended Posts

Hubby and I went to the Y today. They had an "adult swim" for two hours this afternoon....free of screaming rugrats:)

Lotta old people and heavy people..and people recovering from injuries....floating around the 90 degree gorgeously huge, deep heated therapy pool.

We caught the last part of a Water aerobics class and swam for a couple hours. Was wonderful:)

Day passes were like...ten bucks. (and they had some kinda promotion that you can bring a guest....so hubby got in free!)

Definately worth checking out what your local YMCA offers. Even if you don't want to join....a day pass is an awesome way to give it a try!

And a nice warm swim is a fun way to beat the winter blahs.

Next week my bestie wants to go roller skating. LOL..... God help me.

My husband declared he would never move from our house, so I said I want an backyard pool. Score! I can't swim in public pools anymore now that I know how to test my own Water. Shiver. Ha! Everyone should have a backyard pool. ETA: just figuring out that I sound like an ass....

I will be extra careful, Shedo. I think if my bestie and I hang onto each other and don't get run over, we'll probably do ok. Mostly, I imagine we'll laugh like nutters and dangle off the edges of things. But I will watch my butt for sure.

I actually have been skating in the past decade when my daughter was a young teen...she used to drag me to the rink. I am NOT good. I'm not confident on skates and never will be. But I can teeter around in a slow circle fairly safely:) My bestie and I were really good at it when we were kids. She used to be able to do a backflip on skates...crazy woman. (have known this woman 40 years! met the first day of first grade)

I’ve been frequenting the Y myself. Been swimming & sitting in the hot tub just posted about how nice it is to be able to breathe a full breath again at just 16 days out!

Everyone should have a backyard pool.

A basic backyard pool is $AUD12000 ... unaffordable for most people.

A three-month pass to the local indoor swimming centre is $AUD123.

No general time limits (other than closing time).

I usually stay three to five hours per visit. That's better value than pool ownership.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
