If you don't move it, you lose it, was something my grandfather used to always say. He didn't move things. He lost them all.
I am glad you're back to living a mostly pain free existence.
I've had a few friends ask me about padel / pickleball but I haven't had the funds to investigate local venues.
it's a fun game, pickleball, but I think it is more dangerous than people are yet aware. I don't plan on playing it anymore. I think it could be safe if you are less competitive than me but I'm the kind of person that will dive for a point.
I wouldn't dive for a point, but I'd pick up the crumpled bodies of those who did :P
