I’ve been playing with the same guys for
twenty years. Then one day discomfort
in my hip turned into agonizing pain in a
bed at Rhode Island Hospital. It was T-cell
lymphoma. Suddenly getting back to tennis
was the last thing I was worried about. I
must have seen a million doctors from every
specialty. Then it was intense treatment
followed by rehab at Newport Hospital that
started with “Can you move your big toe?”
It was a hard, scary ride, but it ended with
me on a tennis court, so I’m good.
