No Sudden Moves

It is a beautiful sixty degree November day.  We decided  a few days ago that we would take advantage of the heat wave by playing tennis.  I agreed, as long as I could play without making any sudden moves.  To be perfectly honest,  I am feeling a little vulnerable at the moment with an injured left shoulder, right sciatic nerve problem, and two weak knees. None of it is serious, and will heal in a few weeks,  but it adds up to enough for me to want to be very cautious.  Fortunately, my right arm is fine.

After we had been playing a while, I realized that tennis is a great game for playing, even if one is impaired.   You can still play with whatever workable parts you have left!  I remember the tales Gerry would tell about playing with his Cornell geezer friends, many much older than he, with various physical limitations, one even with a permanent catheter!  Gerry has also played against opponents in the senior games who could barely walk,  but in the range they could reach, they were fierce competitors, and their seeming disabilities were very deceiving.

We played for a good hour with no injuries!  Perhaps in the future when I play tennis,  I should be more aware of my age and delicateness.   I certainly do not wish to be immobile!

What a beautiful blue sky day it is!
