well I made it back tonight !! I really enjoyed the practice as well ! My shoulder was fine through out and it looks like that physio paid off. Driving home I felt content and the stars seem to shine a little brighter. I think I forgot how much I love Kendo in between having new babies in the house and the rest of that nonsense which is life.
Thanks again to everyone for the encouragement and expect to see more of me on these forums - I don't feel like I have to be a casual bystander anymore. It was a bit tough seeing how much better everyone had gotten so quickly - is ten months really that long - and a few people are up a dan or so so I have lots of work to do but I will try and remember that ultimately it is yourself you are fighting all the way.
