...if you are no longer able to do something you enjoy?
I have to confront this question when I went for my tennis earlier this morning.
I love the game ever since my high school friend introduced it to me 28 years ago.
Pain in my shoulder, elbow and both wrists stop me from hitting out.
Pain on my right knee prohibits me from chasing after the balls and bend low enough to hit my backhand properly.
Both my ankles are too weak to make the sudden stops and turns.
Was it fun?
Well, the sweating was. I have not sweat this much for a long time! Love it. Made me feel alive!
But no, it wasn't fun at all having to come to terms with the fact that I am still not healthy and fit enough to get back to the game I enjoy most.
Looks like in the short term at least, I need to sort out my health before I can even get back to shape for tennis.
I need to figure this out...
