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!

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.
