Due to my spine problem I didn't play for almost a year, but even without that my game was getting worse as I aged. I still had moments of playing well, but they were few and far between. More recently, I have been given the green light to go back out and have about 4 or 5 times now. And I only played a few holes. Yesterday I got up to 8 holes in without more than minor fatigue, but I am back to the quality that I started with back 45 years ago which can only be described as pathetic. But things do seem to be improving. I still have a bit of an equilibrium problem which isn't helping but that seems to be getting better a little as well.

It's frustrating but my Doctors keep telling me to be patient and it will get better. I tell them that they need to understand that I will be 75 years old in a couple of months. I don't have all that much future to patiently wait. But, it is just one other example of how little control we have of somethings. It is very easy to start getting very heavy into self pity about it sometimes. I have a lot of friends and relatives that didn't even make it to my age, much less able to go out and play golf no matter how poorly. I try to keep that in mind and be grateful for my situation. When I go to the VA Hospital in Durham for checkups or procedures and I see so many veterans my age that are legless, blind, confined to wheelchairs or are close to zombie status, it does awaken me to how lucky I am. Then at least I lose the self pity for awhile until I find myself unable to do things that seemed easy just a few years ago.

Sorry, I way over answered your question, but I sometimes use this place to vent a little. 🤐

I hope you maintain a positive attitude toward healing, as sometimes things take a while. Yet, even little steps lead to bigger steps -- and what's important -- that you're still moving forward. Sounds like you've made some progress, I believe you're headed in the right direction.

I agree but my brain keeps insisting that things would be much better if we could shift this into a faster gear.

I was today years old when I learned that Buzz Lightyear was named after Buzz Aldrin.

I was at a bar with some coworkers after work, and somehow we got talking about how Buzz Aldrin got married recently at 93 years old. Then someone said "To infinity and beyond", and it just dawned on me that Buzz Lightyear might be named after Buzz Aldrin. I Googled it, and it was true. My mind was blown.

Also, Buzz Aldrin's real name is Edwin.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Busy day at the trailer. Finally convinced Mike that my idea of drilling into these stumps to make light posts was a brilliant idea.

I scavenged behind our neighbours’ wood shed for rocks to enclose our small garden.

And now we’re sitting around the fire, listening to the Jays lose … again.

That's how it was in my home growing up. It was the same way in my household, I think, because I don't remember any eating anything different. My wife might have been the law maker in that thing. I only remember three incidents. One was with my youngest daughter. She wouldn't eat Pizza. I almost disowned her for that one. ;) The other was when my wife served liver and onions. Something and one few things that I won't eat. She served it to my girls both of which rejected it and my wife wanted me to back her up. I didn't and couldn't. I told her I was sorry but I couldn't force them to eat something that I won't and you have given me something different so it is going to be hard to justify eat or go hungry. I learn from the first time when my oldest refused to eat her peas. We drew a line in the sand and being relatively new parents told her she was not to leave the table until they were at least tried. Three hours later we had to give in because it was her bed time. Man that girl was and is still, stubborn as a mule. She's the same one that had three home birth children with no drugs at all. I never know whether to admire her or wonder about her mental state.
