Recovering from a traumatic brain injury is beyond my scope of expertise. I understand muscles, ligaments and joints not brain waves, eye, brain and inner ear connections. things just don’t seem to be quite right. feel like I’m walking on a boat all the time. That is a bit unnerving. I cannot look up […]
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT AND WHAT YOU DO
I kept saying “there’s no magic to eating”. But, yes there actually is. Players mention, all the time, things like I’m getting weaker on the court, I’m putting on weight or I broke a bone when I fell. Basically, you are what you eat. Let’s talk about metabolism or how the body burn calories. Players […]
OLD DOG LEARNS NEW TRICKS
Perhaps you read my recent post regarding my unplanned trip to the hospital. Perhaps you are wondering if this life experience has taught me anything. In fact, it has.

I was recently reminded that stuff happens. When one least expects it, our life can be turned upside down.
WHAT’S AN APP?

If your posture is not good, say, when your shoulders are rolled forward and your arms hang from your chest, not your back, your back muscles no longer work. When your back […]
ARE YOU OVERWHELMED?
I thought the world was going faster because I could no longer keep up. Not true. The world is going along about the same but I’m slowing down. I’m not even sure if this sneaks up on you or just hits you in the face all at once. I’m the working retired. I do a […]
SCIATICA
Seems like everyone I know has some form of sciatica. No one knows what that means except it hurts like crazy and interrupts their life. Doctors like to give shots and pills. These mask the symptoms but don’t work.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
My birthday was a few days ago. I didn’t plan a party this year. I really didn’t plan anything nor did I feel like doing anything. Actually, I ran a 5k and won my age group. Took a really nice picture as a memory.
