Don’t let anyone tell you “it’s just water!” I know I’ve been sore for the last week, but I had no idea how colorful the injuries were until I actually looked today. I suppose I’m a sensitive guy. Interestingly, they are all on the left side of my body. The pain in my neck is also on the left side, although I don’t think it’s bruised, just some sort of pull. Often, when I return to the surface after diving, the gurgling bubbles and tsunamic commotion in the pool lead me to believe a hippopotamus has just landed a forward 2.5 pike with a twist. By process of elimination, that hippo must be me. I’ll try to catch the hippo on video soon.
