Trying to leave a positive trail of stuff. Something I would have liked to read when I was struggling not that long ago. Against my better judgement I accepted a late invitation to play golf yesterday. Had a couple of twitchy moments on the driving range - a touch tender still around the stent. I’d already asked the consultant if I could do any physical damage (I’d visualised the stent damaging my artery somehow) - but he said no problem.
I made my apologies to my playing partners (including 2 professionals) on the 1st tee and proceeded to swing very cautiously. Much to my surprise, played without much discomfort and as well as I ever did - if not a little better. Got bolder by the hole and knocked my drive past all of them down the 18th and walked in feeling fantastic.
There’s a life lesson (and a golf lesson) in there somewhere. If there’s a version of me out there about to have a stent - you might find that interesting. Everyone else, move on. Nothing to see here.
