Default I can walk!!!!!!
Some of the people here know I've been dealing with a bad right knee for the last 20 years. Too many years racing motorcycles professionally. I've had 12 major surgeries on it. 20 months ago I had a total knee replacement that got badly infected a week after surgery and then developed a stress fracture. Last May I had to have it redone completely. This one went much better.

This morning in the drizzle my walked the my first 9 holes in over 2 years. That was one of my major rehab goals. It's a little sore now but not too bad. Next week I'm going to try to walk 18. It may not be much to you but it's HUGE to me.

Congrats! What a difference a good surgeon makes. I've had 3 surgeries on my hand.

In the cold rainy drizzle, you went out and played 9 holes. Are you frickin nuts?
On the plus side, way to go gimp boy!
How did you play? Swing changes working?

Thanks Tim. Not a good scoring day but it felt good to walk - even in the drizzle.

Today isn't a scoring day, it's a day of damage control.
I've got a two day tourney Mon&Tues down in Midlothian. No practice this weekend. Dang weather!

Glad to hear your recovery is going well now, time will help to achieve more goals, don't give up. I can relate what you went through. I was going under the knife every two or three days for about three weeks after my accident. My outcome is different than yours but after 10 months I was able to take my first steps and haven't looked back since.

Congrads & Way to go, Kevin!!! Keep it up! I feel your pain - I've had 6 major abdominal surgeries. Recovery is always slow but you'll get there.

I'm a member at Piedmont and live on the 7th fairway (out of driver range). It's a great Fazio course. Let's do it! I know Sneaks is always up for it.
