My WOW Moment

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to pass along my WOW moment for this week. I have been an avid bowler for most of my life. I started when I was eight and used to bowl four times a week. I was pretty good, but as I got heavier, it put more stress on my knees and I had to drop down to once a week. Finally last October I had to quit because it hurt too much to bowl. I was devastated and this actually pushed me to make the final decision to have the surgery. I returned to bowling off and on in March, but was still having some pain. I took the summer off, and this week started getting ready to go back next month. I got my equipment re-drilled, since my hand got smaller, and I went today to practice a few games to get back into it. I bowled FIVE games and experienced NO PAIN at all!! It was wonderful. I still have to get my timing back and work on getting back to my previous level, but now I know it is possible. If any one is interested, I posted some new pics on my profile. Tell me what you think. Phyllis
