May 5, 2013 Rainmans	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Sponsor looking to finance an "established" Men's club Sorry, Sparky! It’s been extremely difficult following this post. The way some of the individuals of our age group/maturity responding are exhibiting adolescent attitudes and displaying antisocial behaviors are implacable and petty.

March 24, 2013 Rainmans	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Please send you thoughts and prayers... for the RUDY FLORES FAMILY... I was shocked when I received the sad news of Rudy's passing on Friday from the Wongs who are playing at the same tournament in Mesquite. They said he had been complaining about heartburn similar to James Washington when he passed on the softball field back in 2009 (I was present and it was very disturbing and sobering). Rudy was a great teammate, a competitive player, a wonderful sense of humor and a very positive attitude. Even when someone was down or upset, he would be able to put a smile back on their face. You'll be sorely missed my friend! Steve

Jan. 23, 2013 Rainmans	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rotator cuff rehab surf88 - "...commitment to keep up the therapy and daily exercise" -- I agree with your statement.
Jan. 17, 2013 Rainmans	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rotator cuff rehab After the surgery, I couldn’t lift my right hand without help from my left hand. I started PT (was painful) the following week after the surgery and continued for 8 weeks (2 times/week). I also did daily exercises (stretching, elastic bands…) at home. I was fortunate my therapist was a baseball pitcher and he said it would take a year to be at 100%. He stated swinging a bat wouldn’t be an issue early in the recovery cycle but my throwing ability would be limited. He warned me to be careful throwing the ball too hard/early as I could reinjure the shoulder (didn’t want to relive that pain again) because the tissues soft and are still healing. I began playing catch (approx. 10-20 feet) with my wife after 2 months and began throwing a tennis ball at a wall (40 throws increasing – over time - to 100 throws per day). I played in a tournament about 4 months after surgery. Swing the bat was okay but I could tell I didn’t have the strength/power I had prior to the injury. I also did not throw the ball hard (lobs and relays). I began lifting light weights (5 lbs.), push-ups (5), and other exercises at 4 months and have slowly increased the weight and repetitions. It’s been 8 months since the surgery and I’m stronger than I was before the injury and I feel I’m 90% recovered (the year timeframe seems accurate).
Jan. 13, 2013 Rainmans	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rotator cuff rehab missouridave, I had the exact same issues/surgery you had and I'd be extremely careful about pushing it too hard and too fast as you could re-injure your shoulder and it could result in having to redo your surgery. The surgeon that performed my surgery is a triathlete (extremely great shape), has performed near 1000 of these operations, and understands the needs and desires of an athlete. He told me several stories of individuals who thought they felt okay and/or wanted to rush the normal healing process only to have it end in disaster (e.g., swinging a golf club striking the ground). I've headed that advice and I'm in better shape than I was before the injury. It was a downer having to wait but I didn't want to re-experience the surgery and lose any progress that I had made.
Jan. 12, 2013 Rainmans	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rotator cuff rehab I had a total rotator cuff separation and had surgery to repair it 8 months ago. The above advice (i.e., therapy, exercises...) is good and stay with it.
