Re: golf at 3'1/ 2 weeks

Y'know Art, if this was about a choice between living and dying, I'd say " go

for it " . But it isn't. You sound extremely articulate and accomplished, and

believe me, I only wish you well.

I just think the choice is really between virtual certainty of recovery and

the joys flowing from that, versus the possibility (remote as it may be) that

you'd need a THR because you didn't use your brakes judiciously. Just the

thought of the restrictions a THR would put on me would be enough to scare the

hell

out of me. Maybe high level golf with a THR is possible. I know that a THR

would end my karate ambitions in a New York second.

I guess you have what it takes to be a super-competitive athlete. I hope

you're right and we're all wrong.
