This morning, I decided that I wanted to see where I was at from the surgery, so I jumped on board the MS team’s boat. Which was nice as there was some newbies out who needed some help so I sat beside them in the boat and worked with them. While trying not to be stupid and or the normal stubborn person that I am and paddle though the pain. It might be a tad to early still as the only thing I found annoying was I wasn’t able to sit as comfy like I normally can, I may have to purchase myself a butt pad (after 15 years of not needing one).
I would LOVE 
to be on the water as soon as I can but I don’t want to be stupid and push it either, so I had to try it on a team that I know that wouldn’t be pushing it to hard. After the practice I went to the 1st regatta of the 2009 season for the local dragon boating community. I missed the two races in the morning but came in time to watch both of our crews afternoon races. Its nice to be known in the db community but sometimes, at these events the “hi, Kimm” gets just a little to much.
The regatta had 50 teams showing off what they got for a 200 meter race. In the category we raced in, the team I’m trying for placed 4th out of 30 and our 2nd crew placed 26th (not bad for a team of a lot of 1st time paddlers). 
The venue was amazing and so was the weather. I can’t wait for my 1st race of the season. 
I’ve almost fallen asleep twice writing this, I think too much fresh air and a bit to much sun. Have a good night.

If you’re falling asleep…GO TO BED. And yes, don’t push yourself too much
Hi Kimm, all the way from Netchick’s Meet and Greet
I am also in the position of not being able to do my favourite pastime due to recent surgery.
I am hoping to join the group for the odd day here and there until I’m fit to rejoin full time

I learned the hard way that it’s not good to push past an illness or injury when I was playing college softball. I tried playing before I was ready and ended up hurting myself even more. It wasn’t good. Definitely take it slow, okay?

Butt pad? Man.. I need one of those for when I’m riding the bike. Apparently riding it is good rehab for my knee, but my a$$ gets so freaking sore that I can’t do it for very long. Even when the seat has one of those gel thingies, still gets sore.
