Hi Et,

Well I've got to the point where I can relatively comfortably paddle a 19" wide kayak that doeasn't have a flat bottom so I can balance well enough to get by. I also realize that I heal slower than I used to so try to not hurt myself if I can help it.

I do understand the exercise and why it's important.

I also wake up most mornings with a sore back that tells me to be careful to not injure it further. So to continue paddling I have to be careful to some extent.
