Well, I bowled in my league tonight. 1st time bowling since my surgery on Monday sept 16th. 8 days after my surgery at my follow up appointment I asked the surgeon about bowling. His Recommendation was wait 4 weeks after surgery, but when I asked him about it after he said that(I can be stubborn at times) he said I could try it --that I couldn't make it worse, but he sad that If I fell sore the next day, then that means it was too soon to return. I waited till tonight approx. 2 1/2 weeks after surgery.
My Speed was a little bit slow at the beginning about 1 1/2 mph slower than normal , but was at my typical speed by the end of the first game--rust and hesitation maybe. I didn't seem to feel "unfit" to bowl--I'll know better tomorrow how I feel when I wake up---I did better than I thought I would first time back--- 197, 190, 194 ..nothing earth shattering, but nice way to return, especially considering that for 29 of my 30 frames I was using my new Red reactive Hammer from 1994 which I had never thrown until tonight so I was pleased, we'll see how I feel tomorrow.
