During my early days at TV I was going through a variety of illnesses and injuries (now under control) that caused me to go to Lake Regional Urgent Care at Lake Sumter Landing several times, for treatment and follow-up.

At least 80% of the time, when I went there was a patient there who was being treated for a leg injury received while playing pickle ball. None were able to walk unassisted.

I played shuffleboard, Bocci Ball, and used the swimming pools. Never got around to horseshoes. Did some putting practice on golf courses. Avoided pickle ball.
