Des...

I'm still waiting for my insurance reply, so you have a much better

perspective than I. But I would have said what you did...having read

the stories of hippies before me. I'm fully expecting to be able to

return to handball singles...at the level I was at before I got hurt.

(For most of the last year, I've been forced to settle for " old guys "

doubles. They're nice guys, and it's not a bad game, but it's not

what I know I can do with a whole body.) Anything less than what you

were is second best. Who wants that?

YIPPPEEE!

Good for you whale...! I love your attitude...and you're

right...life's about choices and sometimes they're not SIMPLE!

We need to get hit in the head with a 2x4 at times...but hey, 1) it

takes our mind off our hip pain and 2) it wakes us up a little!

Best of luck to you,

I just played a 4.5 league singles match, our league goes no higher so there

are generally 5.0 players playing #1 singles like myself. I played 2 1/2

sets before darkness stopped us after 2 hours of play. We split sets and have to

complete the match this weekend. Today, I feel no major soreness and my

opponent was 20 years younger! I seriously doubt that I could have moved that

well

with a THR.

Thanks Donna. If I'm in Europe during your surgery, I'll try and come visit.

I also want to see Koen again. I wish you the fasted recovery because I want

to play a mixed tournament with you sometime!

Who says a jarhead can't change his mind? You won't regret it.

It sometimes takes that 2 x 4 to the forehead. Thanks Dave.

Choices make life much more complicated!
