I just had to share my mini victory today. I bowled for the first time since surgery! I bowled a whopping 80 and 91! I could definitely tell my balance has been affected, but I managed to scrape through two games! My daughter and I had our annual bowling trip with our group, so I couldn't NOT take her. Anyhow, it was fun and I had to share. Yea me! :)
Regards,
Brian

Based on the last time I went bowling, I thought 91 was a pretty good score. :-\
Nice going, Brian. If you put your mind to it, I bet you could break 100. ;)

Congratulations on bowling again! I'm such a spaz I practically used to throw myself down the alley with the ball -- I can't even imagine what would happen now :D :D :D Congratulations on such a great and fun milestone!

I am sticking with Wii bowling - I can't hurt anyone that way! Of course, my virtual ball still seems to find the gutter ...

Quite a victory, Brian! Way to go! I'm quite confident that if I tried it, the ball and I would go flying down the alley...

I'm with Steve...anything over 100 was pretty great for me! ;) My husband, when he bowls, which isn't often anymore, is pretty good. I'm terrible and I don't bowl anymore. It hurts my fingers.
Yay, Pooter!

Alright Brian! Way to go!
Your score might not have sounded too high to you, but I can assure you, if you were playing against me - you would have won, hands down!
I haven't been bowling in a long time, but I seem to recall the most fun part was the beer and nachos. :D

Hey, Brian:
Congratulations on your mini-victory over the bowling ball! :D Seriously - you did good! I can't bowl to save my life so I gave it up years ago, but kudos to you for not only trying, but succeeding. Good job! :)

Have you ever "PURPOSELY" let go of the ball in Wii bowling on the BACKswing?? Watch the people - it is hilarious. The gilries LOVE to do this...of course, the reason we know to do this is because if happens in real life!! At Addi's b-day bowling party, one of the girls bowled across the lane next tous into their FAR gutter!
I taught bowling in college...no, I am not very good, but as a PE major, you have to teach 4 PE classes that they offer. It was pretty fun!

Note to self: Do not challenge Kay to a staring contest or a bowling match.... Brian and Jim, however...probably okay for the bowling part. Hey, I could beat them at a staring contest too!

Very cool, Brian 8)
I firmly believe that all victories - mini or not - should be celebrated.
So, I hope you had the nachos and beer Lori mentioned :D

Thanks everyone for sharing in my mini-victory with me! As I said, I could definitely tell that my balance was affected but as time went on I was able to compensate for it more. At least the AN didn't stop me from trying! There was a time not too long ago that it would have.
Thanks for sharing my day!

running out of the room to find her wii and try letting go of the ball on the backswing...

Good for you Brian. For me, those scores would be lifetime highs.
Best,

Yeah! Brian!!
You are doing much better than I was. I used to be a good bowler (175 average) so my daughter decided after my surgery that I needed to join her team so that I would get out once in a while. To make a long story short, after following the ball down the lane more than once on my belly, the manager asked me if I would either refrain from drinking so much or find another sport! I've gone to bowl with my grandchildren a couple of times since, but the balance thing is too far off for me to really enjoy it. Good for you though!!
