This past weekend the wife and I took a little trip. We went to south Florida. Although we did go to a hockey game, the trip was also a chance for us to get away for a while.
The Florida Panthers' arena is in the middle of nowhere which means there are no hotels close by (but it does mean free parking at the arena). We ended up staying about 10-15 minutes away at a nice hotel with a heated, rooftop pool. We checked into the hotel, ate lunch, and I got to swim for the first time in over two and a half years.
While I was on hemodialysis I had to be careful about getting my port wet (no showers and no swimming). When I was on peritonial dialysis I was told to avoid swimming, too. So the hotel having a heated pool meant swimming for me in early March. It was great.
And for those that may ask, yes anti-rejection drugs do raise your chances of getting skin cancer (of course having a fair complexion helps raise the chances too) and yes I was wearing waterproof sunscreen with an SPF of 5 million.
The Thrashers lost the game but swimming almost made up for that.
