Also I don't know if I'm more sensitive to light or if everyone just has bright *** headlights now.

If you're like me, it's both.
Folks have obnoxiously bright lights now a days. And I legit can't see in front of me at night time when it's raining. My eyes are taking a hard dive as I age.

I got diagnosed 5 years ago, im not fat either. I was flabbergasted and didnt think it was possible. I highly suggest uisng the cpap they give you regularly tho. Itll be awkward at first having a mask strapped to your face constantly blowing air in your face. Even a bit more awkward if you share a bed with someone. For real tho, once you get that first full night sleep with it on i mean real sleep like youve never had and never really knew you were missing you wont go back.

First crucial injury I had was at 20. Had a partial acl tear. Never had surgery and allowed it to heal on its own til 12 years later that it came back to haunt me. Knee didn't heal properly and was experiencing painful lock-ups and swelling then it finally broke totally. After the surgery, still healproperly and diagnosed with synovitis. I'm in my 40s and stopped playing temporarily around 2 years now eversince I blew my gastroc muscle. I feel I can still play but I'm only 20% of what I am now. Athleticism surely suffered as well as endurance and susceptibility to injuries. Tenacity also not so much of a priority now. I'm just happy to run along with other people and play to what I am capable now.

Damn man so sorry to hear. How was the rehab for it?
I heard some folks cant even run anymore after this happens to them.

In my mid 30s and I haven't hooped in 5 years, getting back into it and posts like these inspire me!

The gastroc tear? Doctor said I couldn't push it further like a young guy could. Play my spot. Basically telling me setting a new lower baseline. same goes with my knee due to degenerative synovitis. the acl reparation was fine on the otherhand. I definitely lost my speed and leaping ability. All I have now are my handles, midrange and some part of my defense.

I was still amazing at that age and would eat young ones at their prime. Nowadays, I can't even keep up with my nephew. In fairness, he's a great baller and reminded me of my young self when it comes to athleticism. Only difference is that I could shoot lights out and have a strong inside game.

I love it. I have to do it. You should play as long as you physically can

similar note to this thread...
I knew I was washed when I watched a horror movie and the it wasn't the jump scares that got me it was the scenes cutting from pitch black to the next morning bright effing lights

For me, it's whenever they stick a needle on me. My young self was fearless about it. At my current age, it brings me anxiety.

word to the wise, take it really slow & ease into getting back into hooping, this is prime circumstance for all manner of injury (not trying to jinx but especially an achilles injury) getting your general physical preparedness up is a must

With all that said, perhaps this isn’t the thread for you whipper snapper. We got real issues on this side.

They haven’t decided whether or not I’m gonna need a CPAP or an airway piece just yet. I did a home sleep test and just got the results today so I’m gonna have to go into the office to learn my fate. Either way, excited to learn what I’ve been missing out on in terms of quality sleep.

Yeah the sprayer is convenient. Dawn PowerWash for dishes and Mr Clean Clean Freak for cleaning. Pricy though so just kept the bottles and make my own foaming cleaners.

This daylight savings suck. I actually got my department being cool with dimming some of the lights around 4pm because it definitely feels so dark driving home from work nowadays. Knew from everyone's reaction I wasn't the only one feeling like that

CPAP machines help regardless if you have sleep apnea or not. My brother in law bought one because he kept everyone in the house bothered by his loud snoring. It kept him shut.
