So this is going to sound silly...
          	
          	Free! Iwatobi Swim Club is one of my favorite animes. It’s about, well, swimming. I just watched Starting Days, and it’s amazing. They’re my age in that movie.
          	
          	Up until now, I had a medical defect in my leg. They fixed it with surgery in December, and I’m recovering well, they say. 
          	
          	Now, I’m also a swimmer. Because of that defect, swimming was the only sport I could do. So I loved it, more than so many other things. 
          	
          	But when I tried swimming in January...I couldn’t even kick properly. And that scares me half to death. That, “what if I can never swim again? What if I’ll never swim the way I used to again?” It’s been tearing me apart. Not being able to do butterfly again, it’s drop dead scary. 
          	
          	Swimming was my life...Hell, it still is! It kept me from self-harming, because no matter how I spun it, I knew swimming brought something special to my life. I knew that as long as I could feel the rush of diving into cold water, that I was alive, and that I’ll damn well stay that way. 
          	
          	And so naturally, I’ve been watching Free! everything. Especially AMV’s and the new movies, because music is my inspiration. Honest to God, I don’t know what I’d do if I lost these things. 
          	
          	If anyone who sees this has ever had a leg surgery, will you please please please comment or something, and tell me how your recovery was? I’ve seen news articles about shoulder injuries, but none about leg...I’m a middle school girl, so if that matters...
