Probably not surprising that my goals sound very similar to yours. The whole idea of savoring life is very prominent in my mind right now. Especially given the fact that I am going through my first bout with Covid. This thing is no joke! I haven't been this sick in decades! This past year my friend started a casual disc golf league and I decided to join. I played more this year than I probably have in the past ten to fifteen years and it was awesome. I hope to keep that up. I guess basically I want to be more conscious of what I choose to fill my time with.

When I was writing this I was trying to focus on things that were somewhat in my control, so much of life is outside of our control. I'm so sorry to hear you have Covid and I hope you're feeling better! It's running rampant. I think you're the only person I know who hasn't had it at least once before. Some folks are going on 4-5 bouts with it already. I had it in January of '23. I felt bad for about 2.5 days, the first night was the absolute worst, my heart rate stayed in the 100-120 bpm for about seven hours straight that evening. I'm glad you found a pastime you enjoy. I've never tried disc golf but it looks like fun. I damaged both rotator cuffs a few months ago so it'll be a while before I am able to throw a frisbee.
I actually think I messed up my rotator cuff too. I have had this constant pain in my shoulder. It's possible I had Covid before this, but it was either a mild case or I didn't test to verify it. I should put an Asterix by that to say this is the first verified case of Covid I have had. My biggest issues have been the temperature swings and the sinus pain.
It's so painful. Mine are healing little by little with time but my range of motion is only about 50% of what it used to be. I have a really tough time reaching above my head for things on shelves and such. I hope to avoid surgery because I've heard it's a tough one. It's so strange how Covid symptoms manifest differently in different people, even if they have the same strain of it. I mainly had the racing heart, fatigue, and chills. I developed a heart murmur after recovering so it did some damage. Thankfully it's minor. I wish you a speedy (and full) recovery!
I'm not even sure mine is my rotator, I just know I either hurt it disc golfing or starting the lawnmower and both of those motions are consistent with that area I guess. Yeah, I am finally feeling a bit better today. I decided to take the day anyway and I will start back fresh on Monday.
That was a smart move to give yourself another day and the weekend to recover.
