Added a YouTube clip this morning showing me hitting a few groundstrokes on a clay court in Holden MA, October 3. The date is only significant because two days later I went in to have a SLAP tear repaired in my shoulder. This is pretty light hitting, but I've been feeling more and more 'normal' every day. This is the first video of myself hitting a tennis ball that I've seen in twenty years. I can see some holes in my strokes but given I haven't played a serious set of tennis since Oct. 2006, I'm pretty happy, very happy actually.

Best of luck on the 21st Erin. Your fitness level is going to significantly improve your recovery experience.
I have the paperwork collected for a ranking reduction and expect to send it in soon. In addition to my ACL, I also had a labrum tear repaired two weeks ago -- a type II SLAP lesion. So I won't be swinging a racquet for a little while.

Blew it during a tennis match. I had bought some extra beefy ski gear in the spring and was worried I would hurt something on the mountain. Imagine my suprise.
