I’M BACK…
posted in You Never Know... |
I apologize for not posting for the past two weeks, but I did not react well to being told I needed major back surgery (minimum five hours, four 3” bolts, blah, blah, blah) and would need 8-12 weeks to recover, wouldn’t be back to “normal” for at least six months and I probably wouldn’t play golf again.
I learned this on July 5th and went into a suspended state of disbelief, anger and woe-is-me.
I went for my second opinion this last Thursday and lo and behold got a completely different diagnosis. Surgery of no more than 45 minutes, back to work in a week and playing golf in six to eight weeks. Wow, what a difference. Now with these two extremes I think a third opinion is in order to verify which one is correct.
SO I’M BACK.
Why did I get way too personal here? I violated one of my own cardinal rules, never let emotions and pessimism take completely over. I did and lost two weeks. Emotions (and logic) and pessimism (and optimism) all have their places in life but when you let any of them take over, your life and outlook will be out of balance. Mistakes will be made (I made them). Keep an even balance and things will be much better – take it from someone who knows.
