Be Thankful! you can bowl!
« on: November 24, 2005, 07:32:17 AM »
Just a thought. Due to a recent injury I thought my bowling was over.
The doctor was able to diagnose and treat. I was able to bowl in two weeks just can't do more than 1 or 2 sets a week.
Instead of wondering how to improve or what ball to buy next, Let's just be thankful we can!



Happy Thanksgiving one and all!

Bowling is about what the bowler believes it to be, so what is bowling to you friend?

I couldn't agree more. After not bowling for 12 years, I went back to it in June of 1995. In August of 1995, I suffered a pretty bad back injury. I'm thankful every day that I can walk, bowl, and otherwise live a reasonably normal life. There are some things I just can't do - but at least I can follow my passion.

I'm thankful for a lot of other things, too!

Didn't mean to undermine your post. Yes, we all have lots to be thankful for. Glad it was only 2 weeks; at the time, it must have seemed horrific.

Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway...

Be thankful you can, I just under went surgery two weeks ago on a torn right tendon in my foot. I’m in a cast and can’t place ANY weight on the foot for another two weeks. My doctor told me I’ll be a cast for two months!

I though staying at home and laying on the couch all day watching TV would be heaven, but it has turned into hell. I have to use a dang walker or crutches to go anywhere in the house. Outside isn’t even an option because I have three stairs that I can hardly get up or down them.

This isn’t anything like I thought it would be. I absolutely hate being handicapped. The next few weeks will seem like eternality.

I bet I won’t be able to bowl for 3 – 4 months. Guess I should have had this surgery done during the summer.

Damn, I threw that like a league bowler.

A woman on my league took two bullets in the abdomen while she was at work in February of 2005, and through surgery and a ton of therapy, she's bowling league with the help of a cane and a 12 lb. Target Zone

When I think I'm bowling bad, I only have to look for her and watch her bowling, having a good time and being grateful for just being alive and being able to walk again and I realize that good games or bad games, I definitely have a lot to be thankful for

get back on the lanes you wimp. I tore out my groin severly in 16 games of practice and it hurt so bad I could barley walk the next day but I went bowling again the next day. Pain is what you make of it, an excuse and we don't need excuses.
