Last October, I tore my right rotator cuff (supraspinatus) tendon hitting an overhead volley, while playing pickleball.
My rehab went fine thanks to some exercise routines, which I still do at least every other day, tailored for me by my son, who's a Physical Therapist.
I was back on the courts this am.
I arrived with a right knee brace due to an absent ACL, from a previous injury in 1985, and a right hand brace, due to advanced degenerative arthritis of my first carpal-metacarpal joint of my thumb.
I played just fine.
Others had an assortment of braces and elastic wraps and shared war stories, between games, of all their previous injuries and surgeries over the entire course of their lives on earth.
I could have shared having had both of my hips replaced, but decided to just listen.
But, I did feel right at home.
It's always good to find some of your people 😏!
