Hi frands,

So the sensation of having a bear sitting on my chest has subsided somewhat, and I'm getting back to it.

On Monday, I went swimming. I can see improvement, because despite my shot lungs, I am swimming farther than I was at the beginning of the month.

On Tuesday, I went to the Mande class at Brown. Before I joined rugby, I danced with the company, so it was good to go back and be in that space. We were doing a very difficult (in both technique and impact) dance, one that gave me hell when I was in the company, but I did pretty well. I was teaching with the TAs and it felt really good. I'll be going back next week.

I'm hoping I get to play basketball this week, if my schedule and body allows.
