I swam 1 km after a long break, and two months after my hernia surgery it feels good to be back and feeling strong again.
I swam 1 km today after a long gap, and it felt really good. After being away from it for a while, getting back into the water felt both familiar and reassuring.
It has been two months since my hernia surgery, so this milestone feels meaningful. More than the distance itself, it is the sense of recovery and normalcy returning that stands out to me.
I feel good after that swim. It is a reminder that healing takes time, but there is a quiet confidence that comes from noticing the body getting stronger again.
