Yes! Nine holes!

Ok, so I am 15 weeks and change. My doctor said to wait til September for golf, biking, elliptical, and PT.

So, what did I do this morning? Ta da, played 9 holes of golf. I played pretty much bogey golf, which is about what I did pre rupture. I usually walk, but the hills are still intimidating. Plus, since I was already going against protocol, I figured I should take it easy. My husband fretted and helped with any steep terrain. I finished the day off by swimming about a half mile. It is amazing how normal today felt, and how much I enjoyed it. A month ago it was hard to see this day coming. So, hang in there folks, it get’ better, and you will truly enjoy slowly returning to the active life you used to have. And, believe that you WILL return to that active lifestyle.

So, tomorrow, maybe 18 holes?

Congrats! Now if I play bogey golf after this injury, it will truly be a miracle (I could never play that way before).

Keep up the great work!

great job tennisjunkie! WOW - you are out there doing something you love. Great. I’m with you that each month that passes (have I really been at this long enough to say that??? ugh) I can’t believe that I’ve progressed as much as I have and couldn’t have imagined it the month before. Hopefully at 15 weeks (end of sept) I’ll be in Hawaii…might try those 9 holes!

Played 18 today. Played my best front nine ever. Too bad the back nine stunk. But I loved every crappy shot I hit today.

Way to go TJ!

I’m back to almost normal, golf-wise, just not walking yet…still taking a cart.
