Going diving.
Hubby went on his first scuba dive since the surgery. Doc gave him the release to go a few weeks ago and he finally felt ready. We jointly carried his gear (as it is quite heavy) and he put the BC (buoyancy control vest) and tank on in not quite chest-deep water. We reversed when coming out so that he was never carrying the entire weight on back.
The worst part of it was that he wore his dry suit and the inflation button is located right over the scar. D'oh!
It was a short dive (20-25 minutes), but he said it felt good to get back in the water.
