I won't be able to say that for a while. I had my surgery and everything went well. I am still recuperating and its not fun. Mostly finishing up years of reading and watching TV.
Not that I am only laying around. The little exercise I can do is walking. I have been walking my oldest and slowest dog Gwennie around my street. She loves it and has so much more energy when we are done. The rest of the day she is peppy. I am happy to have her as my walking buddy right now.
The rest of the summer I will be able to resume some if not all of my normal activities. Though I will get tired easily. I'm not sure going back out on my board will be a good idea, not until the fall. I don't need to be tired and out in the water just to go under. I have been getting tired walking around the OC fair and South Coast Plaza.
I did go to the beach and get in the water the day before my procedure. Which I have still not told most people what it was. There have been some wild guesses, my foot was one. Since I don't have a cast or my foot isn't bound up, then guess again. It's not that I want to be sneaky or lie about it. Its just none of any one's business. People need to learn, that No, I don't have to tell every one what's going on and No I don't want to talk about it.
As it is, things are healing well and my Dr's are happy with my progress. The summer and surf will go on without me there. That's ok, I will be out there again. When the surf is up!

Get out
At times we need to just get out there and walk the dogs, or get the board down and go to the beach.
Since it is summer people want to surf, its not the best surf here in SoCal while it is this time of year. I do want to get back out there and get my board wet, I will have to wait. I still have some medical issues I need to take care of.
In the mean time I have been walking my dogs when I can and doing my belly dancing. It helps, but its not as fun as getting in the water.
To fill the void and get out of the house I have been going to LACMA and other museums to see art and get inspired. I have felt that I end up saying the same things over and over. I try very hard not to do that.
At a recent exhibit I saw that an artist had pretty much the same style from the begging. All of their work had the same look to it. Instead of saying "All this stuff looks a like" the statement seemed to be "this artist has a clear and central theme they have stayed true to", at least that's what I got out of it. The feeling I had when I left was one of hope, that if I stick to my own vision I will be successful.
The next time I get out into the water, I will have to remind myself of that idea.
