Your welcome Sean and Sean that’s good that you’ve been busy and good luck with your surgery and i’m sorry that you have diabetes and that’s so cool that you play tennis and Christine i’m not from Texas and Sonya I hope everything goes well with your move
I’m actually moving in a week. How annoying.
Sonya that’s funny that you got your dates mixed for your moving day lol
Mod
Played 6 and 1/2 hours in one day, all close three sets....all three matches.
27, 700 steps on the Sunday...
Mod
I am in shape, well for an old one.
Roger Federer would have been stiff after 6 and half hours !
Feeling fine, and playing again, plus I walk 25, 000 steps a day (16 miles)

Take care Sean. Hope you feel better soon!
Hope you feel better. I moved into my own place on October 8th. I’m liking it!

Get well soon and happy reading.
Sean wrote: "thanks all"Here's to a speedy recovery!!
Heal quickly Sean. Wow you might need someone to turn the pages in your book by the sounds of it. Did you play in your Tennis match yet?
Mod
No tennis now for 4-6 weeks..
Struggling, but getting on with left hand mostly out of use.
Off work for three weeks.
That is a darn shame, Sean.

Time to give up tennis, Sean and join the bowls brigade. Good luck, hope recovery doesn't take as long as Andy's
Mod
When I recovered.
Shoulder surgery on Wednesday, on my right side, so both sides will hurt.
But back strong in a few weeks.
Sounds bad. Shoulders are difficult to fully recover, but you sound determined. Very positive
Mod
Then had DVT in my right leg, which killed the blood vessels in my right calf, then I had 16 blood clots on the lungs(my wife was told to get a priest by my hospital bed)
One year off work, one year to recover and get my lungs working again.
January 2011 starting playing tennis again, after working hard to get my ankles and lungs strong.
Then diagnosed with Diabetes, which I have managed to keep to tablets and exercise.
Then woke up 2012 with a trapped nerve in my right shoulder unable to move my right arm, it took a week to move my arm again, it was a disc in my neck partially slipped out(that was so painful).
Recovered from that....
Last year trapped a nerve in my groin, with caused me to have permanent cramp down both legs, was carried to an ambulance.
A week later, recovered and back on the court...
I guess you could say I have been lucky in life, I believe in fate, and hard work and fitness has saved my life a few times.
Fate... yes my mum and dad , and my brother and sister has a car crash in Kenya (I was three) I stayed at home, I would have died sitting on my mum's lap...
Again in Bahrain age 9 years old, I went back from a picnic with my mum and dad instead of the Navy officers Jeep, my brother and sister were thrown from the back of the jeep, and survived again...
In 1985 my mother and father in law were killed in a car accident in the UK, my wife Tracey and I has just bought a house and did not go with them this time...
Wow FATE !
Sorry Hope I did not bore anyone, just do feel lucky to be here and enjoying life with my wife, we will have been married 40 years next March...
To me you must enjoy life to the best of your ability, work hard , play hard, and be good to others....
A catalogue of misfortune and good fortune, Sean. Which way will the dice fall? You obviously have a strong mind and a strong body but one thing we can never defeat; the ageing process. Please don't think you are different; give your body a chance. I speak as an old man who played all sports and am all the better for it, but I don't deny my age any more or my limitations. It's better to take time off so you can use it again. Bowls is really quite a good sport.
Mod
But still enjoy the doubles and mixed doubles.
I agree bowls is fun.
My chilling out is reading, listening to music and walking.
kind regards, my friend
And to you Sean. You have the compensation of enjoying many more books and films and writing those great reviews and memoirs.
Mod
No more surgery, just recovery now....
Left hand getting better.

I am glad your surgery is now over Sean. Rest now and take it easy.

What did they do, Sean; clean and replace the socket? It will take a long time to recuperate so have patience. Take it easy
Praying for a quick recovery Sean.
Mod
