swimming and work and foot MRIs and airplanes

[cjsmith]

1. Yeah, still swimming; I'll post when I have questions. (The crawl stroke IS TOO designed entirely to get water in my ears.)

2. Sometimes being busy is good. I'm very pleased with the stuff I've been working on for the past week-ish. It works and it does things... often the right things, even. :-)

3. Two MRI scans, one yesterday and one today. I forgot how long those things take and the wide variations in noises the machine can produce. I amused myself by watching the minutes and seconds on the display count downward.

I purchased duplicate copies of all the films. Since my last set of scans and my purchase of an impressive textbook was all well over a year ago, I have forgotten everything I ever learned about what these things should look like, and believe you me, everything I ever learned wasn't much. I stared at them for a while and said "Looks like the inside of a foot." Yeppers. Inside of a foot. Know what's inside a foot? Mainly glop.

Flying tomorrow. Probably some work, too. Then a houseguest and a party, and on Sunday I get to check out some weird shoes my foot doc recommended.

The anti-chlorine shampoo is harder to find in the winter. If you wet your hair and put some conditioner on it before you get in the pool, less chlorine (but not none) gets into your hair. However, it will make your swim cap slip off if you wear one.

The Auro-Dry is sold at most drug stores, Wal-Mart, and I've even seen it at Target. It's in with the contact solution and ear ache remedies section. Auro-Dry isn't the only brand. It's just the one I liked best.

Thanks! I'll take a look.

There's also stuff called SwimEar (http://www.wellcene.co.uk/cgi-bin/loadpage.cgi?user_id=320&file=w-swimear.html) which works well too. That's what I usually use.

I just use plain alcohol. The auro-dry bottles are very convenient for dribbling it in, so I bought one to start. You could also try earplugs, Ken uses those for waterskiing.
