Beskrivelse
"I am not much on land, but I am an absolute demon in the water.On terra firma my body feels heavy, cumbersome, clumsy and slow. It complains with every minor movement, much like the contrived tantrum of a five-year-old boy shopping for clothes with his mother. My body, fighting gravity, is an oppressive and depressive vehicle in search of relief, maddeningly incessant in its demands.But in the water . . . oh, in the water my body is an entirely different animal. I am light. Buoyant. Fluid and flexible. In the water I approach a state that eludes me on land. In the water - and only in the water - I experience something akin to grace."I had not envisioned entering my fifties spending more time on the couch than mobile, but that's exactly where I was. Sick, and getting sicker. Battling arthritis, hip disease, prostate cancer, a brain tumor, adrenal insufficiency and pituitary failure I realized I had a choice - I could either give up or I could fight.I chose to fight.This is my story.
