I'm sorry you felt you needed to miss another tournament as I can see how much you love the sport, but it is good to be able to judge your temporary limits and be patient. Hopefully your arm will be better soon.
I started over too many times in life and so did not get enough put back to retire comfortably really. Still....even if I can't let my work go, at least for now I am able to work from home and as long as I work, I have more than plenty. I wish it were different, but I still count myself as very lucky and am grateful for my good fortune. The economy is not good and there are many who are suffering for it. It makes me sad to see it.
It has been a bit difficult to keep dropping out of the tournaments and not playing disc golf. It reminds me a bit of when I stopped running. Hopefully, my arm problem won't last so long that I lose interest in playing again.
I think a lot of my comfort has to do with getting support from a lot of people. If things had gone just a little bit differently I could see myself living on the street like so many others. I feel very fortunate as well.
