Sorry for the Long Delay, the last half of 2009 was hell

So you may have noticed that I haven't blogged in about 6 months. On July 28th I was almost killed in a scooter accident. I was in the hospital for 34 days total, where i had to learn how to walk again, get my strength back and everything. It has been really rough. Over the last 6 months I have lost almost 60 lbs. I also lost 6 feet of my small intestine, and about 6 inches of my colon due to the trauma.
So what does this mean to my bowling? I plan on making a comeback! I have one more surgery to deal with in this whole recovery process, an abdominal reconstruction surgery. Until I get that surgery, I wont be able to really bowl because right now I have a huge hole in my belly thats covered with a skin graft. My abdominal muscles are not connected, so I have a really weak core.
My plan is to totally redesign my swing and approach. From Feb. of 2009 I am almost 100lbs lighter, so I should be able to be more flexible, get lower, and take on less fatigue. If everything goes as planned, I may return to the lanes by June or July of this year.
Its been tough, but i think I am that much tougher from it.
