Today our unit at work had a bowling outing. I had not done this since my
event and my main worry was needing to ask a co-worker to tie the bowling
shoes. Luckily that wasn't a problem because they had velcro straps.
Bowling went fairly well. I would limp/shuffle to the line and just use
arm motion to throw the ball. By the time I planted my left foot there
was no momentum to my swing. I started out with a 15lb. ball but that was
too heavy, so I managed to get a 13 lb. ball instead, lighter ones are
obviously meant for smaller fingers. Scores were 124, 119, 113 about 10
points less than pre-stroke. All-in-all a successful outing, I'll have to
do it again.
Our local Stroke Recovery Association is probably going to put a group together to go bowling in a month or two. A couple of the local alleys are even wheelchair accessible. I am looking forward to it already.
ReplyDeleteDean, I am glad to hear you had such a good time.

Way to go Dean on your bowling. That would be a good day of bowling for me, stroke or no stroke! Hope you have a wonderful and wonderfilled holiday season.
