It's been two weeks and I've returned to "normal". I gained and lost the fifteen pounds of water weight and I even managed to lose a few more pounds to boot! I'm at 188 pounds now and look to get to about 184 by March 13, when Gaille and I leave for vacation.
During last week I did two leisurely bike rides and on Saturday March 2nd I did a fairly strenuous ride for just over 30 miles. You can view the ride here. I'll be picking up the pace of exercise over the next few days and I'm going to be back in the water for the first time since my accident on March 10. It will be a class in shallow waters so that's a good way to get back on the horse, so to speak.
I've got my backup dive watch all set with a fresh battery and I've also added some clips to my BC so I can more easily carry my underwater photography equipment and keep my hands free for more important things.
Then yesterday I did a quite intensive ride with some pretty stiff intervals. I'm pretty much back to where I was, which of course is nothing to brag about.
As far as my upcoming dive, it's a Search and Recovery class. I've done Rescue, Navigation and a bunch of other classes as I worked toward my Master Scuba Diver but never got involved in actually finding things and bringing them to the surface safely and securely. This should be interesting.
