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

Posted: **Mon Feb 22, 2021 2:06 pm**

Yeah I'm wondering if they had to take the L.

Posted: **Mon Feb 22, 2021 2:28 pm**

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

Posted: **Mon Feb 22, 2021 2:41 pm**

Sorry, man.

I wonder if that guy feels like a dick now, especially if he knows he called it wrong.

Pickleball is far superior to tennis.

ETA: That said, based on the grip, the woman in the pink hat doesn't know what she's doing.

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.

Mister D, I'm so sorry for your anguish in having to read about Jerloma's injury.

Posted: **Mon Feb 22, 2021 8:55 pm**

I appreciate that, Syb, but be sure to spare a thought for J-Lo who is arguably going through even more.

Posted: **Tue Feb 23, 2021 9:30 am**

Man, sorry to hear that J-Lo.

Posted: **Tue Feb 23, 2021 9:44 am**

I feel bad for Thorp, who has to live with what he did.

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.

Tampa raised, Dr. Doobay!

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.

Posted: **Wed Feb 24, 2021 5:24 pm**

I'd register her as my PCP.

Posted: **Wed Feb 24, 2021 5:26 pm**

I've never heard of Barry University, but it's only your leg, so she can't do too much damage.

Oh shit...better not tell the first 5 couples I married.

I was asked to officiate a wedding later this year, any advice?

Don't play a tennis match a week prior?

Maybe! Let you know next Sunday!

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.

Posted: **Wed Feb 24, 2021 10:15 pm**

For sure, your “shredded and dangling tendon” has helped erase a lifelong fear from my mind.

Posted: **Wed Feb 24, 2021 10:30 pm**

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.

How do you think Achilles felt?

When you're ready to play your next Swamply Connect game (and I'm winking at you when I say ready), PLEASE let me know

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:47 am**

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?

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2021 2:33 pm**

FWIW, I wouldn't have taken the win if that happened to my opponent.

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2021 2:35 pm**

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.

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2021 3:20 pm**

Nobody needs to see this but seriously...look at this!

Posted: **Thu Feb 25, 2021 3:56 pm**

Big Ben would have played on that...

JLo might limit the interceptions to under 4 though.

Posted: **Fri Mar 05, 2021 8:50 pm**

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.
