Thanks Beth. My farm/no car situation makes getting things checked out a little trickier, so I might need to wait for the weekend... by which time I'm hoping it's healed enough to be ignored. It's been 3 days without much improvement though, which is concerning.

I should still be good for Phoenix, I hope so.
Ah... so yes, you can totally come and watch BUT they're treating it like a festival and you'll need a spectator ticket to get in... which are $30 each. I'm not sure why they're being so crazy about that, most other comps let anyone wander around and only people competing pay entry. It's pretty frustrating. I think they're just trying to get money for the parents that have to accompany their children on the kids course.

Details are here at American Ninja Warrior Experience Phoenix if you want to have a look.

Thank you! It really is hard when you're looking forward so hard, to appreciate any progress you do make. I've got to stop concentrating on the things I can't do yet.
