Donâ€™t over due it and open up a wound. Blood on that astro turf , not a good thing. Lol.

Robert Miller

Cool!! Looking good! My surgeon told me I have to wait 6 months for golfing (I don't play golf, though). Tennis is probably in the same category as golfing. Skiing takes about 3 months so I can be on the mountain in a couple of weeks. So for now I... Read more.

You look fantastic and it is great you started coming back to your old self. Starting work will be another milestone after which I am sure you will feel even better. You are doing great! I hope until your valversary even the pain will completely go away :))))
