I'm sure Son that you writing this, are feeling the gut wrenching disappointment and anxiety all over again.

Wow. I'm hooked. It's hard to read this because I know you and it's a shame that you went through this. But I also can't stop reading and eagerly wait for Part III.

This sentence hit me like a ton of bricks: "A month prior I had been mentally preparing for a record-breaking season. Now, I had to mentally prepare to put on pants."

Aww, I have a geriatric cat sitting in front of my monitor as I read this and her life is indeed low stress.

I sustained a concussion 2 years ago from the exciting activity of sitting in a chair at the dinner table. It was a folding chair that, unbeknownst to me, had been recalled due to its tendency to fall apart. One second I'm sitting at the table, the next second I am on the kitchen floor, my head hurts and I'm telling my husband "Jeff, my head really hurts. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

Did your brain do this thing where someone would ask you a question and you could almost feel your gears turning slower trying to think of the answer?
