Small mishap, although fantastic trip - Page 2

Jeez... that sounds scary! Glad it wasnt too serious. Sometimes we tend to forget our age...

Last week when we were in Aruba, we were on the Jolly Pirate, and all I wanted to do was the rope swing. My wife looked at me like I was crazy. I have dislocated my right shoulder 3 times in the last 2 years. Of course - I didnt listen to my wifes warnings and went for it anyway. Of course the second I got back on the boat - and my shoulder was still in the socket - they pirates selected me to go again - this time one armed with a drink in my other hand. haha

I survived - but at some point I really do need to slow down. My brain is still 21 while my body is a little bit older these days.

It's just going to take a lot of time to recover but that's ok. I'll never forget my age again

Johny...yes I was with my 2 daughters! Did you see me on the beach or the pool area? They got me a golf cart near the street to take me to the first aid room at LaCabana. I hope you didn't see my kids fighting over who got to ride on the golf cart with me!
Side note....I was really bummed...I missed the Halloween Party that night.
