I know most of our group probably does not bowl but for those of you who do. I gotta tell you my story. I have bowled ten pins all my life from age 11. I am in 4 different halls of fame. I write a Q. and A. national bowling column that is in newspapers (bowling) and web sites all over the country. Three going quickly on 4 years ago I almost died because my heart decided it did not want to beat anymore. But with a combination of luck and good people and Drs. helping me I pulled through. Of course I did not think i would bowl anymore or work or anything my life as I knew it was over. Well I got back, I still work and it is hard work especially at my age 67. I install carpet and Vinyl. Tough work but it pays well. I still bowl and have won several tournaments since my episodes. But today was the best I was in a small tournament in our town. It is a match play tournament single game elimination. This means one loss and you are out. I won this tournament. Now that by itself is fine but no real big deal but here is the kicker. I have bowled in 4 of these tournaments over the last 2 years and today's win was # 4 in a row. That means that after today I won 28 games in a row for the 4 wins. In our sport at any level this is unheard of. I feel so great about it I needed to share with my pacer friends. I tell you guy's this to let you know there is life after PM. That you can be as good or better than you ever were. This was an any age tournament and so far a senior with a PM is showing the youngsters how it's done.
Sorry to carry on but This is a great accomplishment for me and I needed to share a good PM story. Just because you need a little help to keep your hear beating does not mean your life is over. It is just beginning. Bowlrbob
