 Im 5 weeks post op.  I really miss going bowling with my daughter.  Do you think its too soon?  My incisions are healed and I dont feel it pulling anymore when I turn over in bed or twist or anything.  I do throw the heaviest ball though, 16 lbs.  I would feel weird calling the surgeon to ask him something like this LOL.

Hey Doc .. wanna go bowling?

Lol! Your little smiley guy there cracks me up

Honestly, though, I'm sure they get stranger questions. I would call. I'm still preop, but I can't imagine throwing around something that heavy, especially with only one arm, so soon after surgery. Maybe I'm way off base there though.

There's always granny shots

Hahaha! 

My coworkers and I have a running joke about me bowling... I get special accommodations, as if I had an IEP, because I suck that much!

 I was not aloud to lift anything over 10 lbs for 8 weeks (made it tough to handle my two year old!), so keeping that in mind, try it but be kind to yourself and if you feel funny at all just sit back and watch.
