Brett Gregory I believe that was while we were on our way back through Eloise. We got surrounded by 6 Police boats doing some publicity stuff. I thought they were going to grill us but then when we heard they were promoting safety I said, “Do you want to hear a great story about safety?” They responded, “sure!” I then went on to tell them how Dick Grant has been barefooting with me for 16 years since he was 70 years old and has only fallen one time and how he is an inspiration to many and that we promote safety worldwide! They were excited and left without grilling us ?

I vividly remember telling Lane I wanted to barefoot on my 65th birthday. Lane invited Dick to join us. Dick (about 75 at the time) came up backwards and Lane looked sideways at me and asked “think you might want to adjust your goals?” Awesome instructor and motivator. ? ?

I absolutely understand getting motivated while being nervous about an injury like your shoulder.
I have personally dealt with tons of injuries and have become a bit of an expert at dealing with them. I always take into count my Dr’s opinion while looking to see what others have done to rehab and recovery.
I believe for every problem, there is a solution and someone who has overcome far worse.
I believe that you should make a goal that motivates you, put a date on it, and then proceed to get wise advice while taking baby steps towards your goal.
As I am going to have a knee replacement on November 10 this year, this certainly hits home for me and I will be journaling my progress to try and help others.
I am not sure if this answers your question, but I hope it motivates you.
All things are possible to those who believe.
