The Anonymous Widower

A First Game of Real Tennis

Well not the first, but the first game since I had the stroke.  In fact it was exactly five weeks since my last game.

I lost that one, just like I lost the one today.  But today wasn’t disastrous as I lost the set 6-2 and was leading the second 5-1 at one point.  When time ran out I was 5-4 ahead.  Was I tiring?  I won’t use that excuse.

Now what will be interesting is to see how my handicap progresses in future months.  I haven’t checked but I think it is about 54.

Could games with a rigorous handicap system like real tennis be used to gauge how people are progressing with various brain and mental problems?
