Thread: Hello Again

    Default Hello Again

    Hi! It's been a while since I've posted here. I have been out of bowling for a long time. So much has happened since then. I had a shoulder issue that caused me to stop, then a partial facial paralysis that prevents me from opening my eyes, and a painful nerve condition in my knee that made walking difficult. I also got a divorce, but not before my ex-wife made me get rid of my bowling equipment.

    Now I'm back home in Milwaukee, my shoulder and knee have been taken care of, and I made an attachment for my glasses to hold my eyes open. I signed up for the Summer Bowling pass so I can bowl 3 games per day all summer. I have gone twice so far this week and will be heading to the lanes later today.

    I used a house ball on Monday and Wednesday, but I bought a plastic ball that I'm going to use today. So far I have just been trying to get my body to do what I tell it to, and haven't been too worried about my score. That being said, I bowled 114-114-93 on Monday and 170-122-147 on Wednesday. I feel like I was getting more consistent and that will get even better now that I have a ball that fits my hand.

    This summer is going to be all about regaining my form and hitting my spares. Later in the summer I'll pick up another ball, but for now I'm content with the TZone. I'm looking forward to bowling in a league in the fall.

    You just made me feel better about my life. Thank you. Sometimes we complain over nothing when it could be a lot more challenging.

    Thanks everybody! I rolled the TZone yesterday and was quite pleased. The lanes were dry enough that I was able to get a bit of a hook with it. When I hit my mark it was 10 in the pit. Unfortunately, that was only 4 times in 3 games. My hand and arm were far less fatigued, so that's good. I have all summer to get my consistency back.
