Ah Wombat, that is exactly it.

I appreciate your post, letting me know that however isolated it can feel, I am not alone, and there are plenty of others fighting the same good fight who do understand. It's all too easy to forget that you can be doing EVERYTHING right and still get blindsided by something extra or unexpected, or even perfectly normal that is just too much at that precise moment.

Anyhow I am doing much better today and should make it to work.

Not a bowler; my shoulder is buggered from a motorbike accident I had about 15 years ago, and being young and spry at the time I thought I didn't need rehab. I was so very wrong!
