Jerloma, does this injury come automatically with a transition to a new sport?

Yeah but our 2nd and 3rd won easily so we still got the W, 2-1.

Pickleball is far superior to tennis.

Based on the footwear (and amount of cargo in the cargo pants) of the guy in green I am guessing "superior" is not related to athleticism when compared to tennis.

Slight joke..I have a college friend who is a top-ranked female pickleball player. She is sponsored by Electrum and is opening a pickleball racquet club in Pawley's Island, SC.

His name is Thorp, so I imagine he just perennially feels like a dick.

My surgery is next Friday and I'm officiating a wedding on the following Sunday. So I asked my surgeon (cute!) if I'd be in good enough condition to do that. She said I'm going to have a lot of discomfort for the first week but she's giving me something for it, however I won't be able to officiate a wedding on narcotics.

I feel like she's extremely underestimating the things I'm capable of doing on narcotics.

I don’t think she thinks you can’t do it I think she believes the union woulndt be legally binding because the officiant was high at the time.

Hey D, if it makes you feel any better, I still haven't even so much as taken an Advil. I took 2 before the match so they didn't even give me any in the ambulance.

It's like the broken/fractured bone thing. If it were just a tear vs. completely severed, I'd be in mad pain right now. It's just sort of shredded and dangling as it is.

I know you’re “doing a joke”, but the concept of dislocating a kneecap is bad but acceptable. I’ve broken bones and, even as a soft child, finished the game because not playing was worse. But the idea of fully severing an Achilles, a singular stretchy inside the body thing that solely holds two things together, makes me want to barf and die.

So could the other team have resigned (to do the honorable thing) or were you forced by rule to forfeit when it was clear you couldn't continue?

I can see arranging something if the next round's opponent preferred playing someone rather than a forfeit. Not sure if that has to be a Win.

Yeah I was forced to retire. I have no idea if the other team can ovverride my retirement with a forfeit but I don't have a problem with it (except that I won the match the point before).

If fitness matters in terms of endurance, I think it has to matter in terms of fragility.

Surgery went great this morning. I actually feel fine still. Nerve block hasn't worn off one bit yet. I have defense ready when it does.

I prepped my understudy for the wedding in case I feel like it's too much or that I'll compromise the quality in any way. Gotta decide tomorrow.
