I'm Not Alone (in SD)

Wow. Stopped by the gym today for the first time in over a month. Pleased to run into someone I deeply respect, yet hardly know. Explained that I hadn't quit, but had a setback. Turns out he struggles with the same issue. Herniated c5-c6. Understands what I'm going through. He's the second Professor in two cities to look me in the eyes and, I could tell, really understands and cares. He asked me to go with him tomorrow to see his neck specialist. God I love this journey.

    Isn't that a relief? Towards the end of my Premier level rugby career, many of my teammates (younger unbroken ones) had no idea how hard it was for me to play a full 80 with a repaired ACL and bone-on-bone arthritis in the joint. When I got to old boys (over 35), I found I had many cohorts. Made the last two years I played very enjoyable.

    Lucky for me, my present teacher knows me well and for 10 or so years now, and so I don;t have to use my knees as an excuse.

    Keep plugging, Rick.
