Oh my gosh it’s been SO crowded at our beach with tourists!  I guess with all the horrid weather on the mainland ….. everyone wants to come to Maui.  I guess I can’t blame them.  I got my back injection last Thursday and so far there is minimal improvement.  I am walking better and have been able to back off the pain medication …. but paddling is not happening yet which I had hoped for.  Even swimming still hurts….. and today I ended up with bad leg cramps in both legs which I then could barely move!  This big turtle stayed with me as I kept filming and then it swam around and right under me!  Do you think it sensed my dilemma?  It sure seemed like it.
