Order you a couple good pool books to read and some accu stats DVDs...I was laid up for a while a few yrs back and bought a bunch of tennis balls and learned to juggle pretty good...but make sure you get a bunch of em that way when you drop one you don't have to chase em...

i know its just hard for me to stay in 1 place for so long
I had a ankle fusion almost two years ago and was not able to shoot for months. I remember a couple of AZ'ers stopped by to see me and I played 5 or 6 games hopping around on one foot:grin:.
This forum, Youtube and live streams got me through that time of my life that so well that sometimes I feel like getting the other ankle fused to "do it again"
Sorry about the broken leg and watch those pain pills, they can make you goofy!
Get well soon.

Pain killers and pool videos, that'll fix that. You will sleep the next 6-8 weeks away!
learn to Play piano or electronic key board, it will teach your brain to totally separate left side from right side, helps a lot in pool focus, also helps you play left handed more accurately, if you are right handed.
You don't need two good legs to play pool. Play with one leg and use one crutch or hop on one leg to get around. Just don't hurry and go slow at first. Play on a 7 foot table only. :smile:
I've been there but I was in my 20's when it happened. The only way I'd be able to do it now is...I'd need to lose 50 pounds.
Learning while not playing...
Yes. I had to take a number of unplanned breaks from pool in the past few years for various reasons, including surgery, a broken rib and a stroke. So I spent lots of time watching pool videos, both matches and instructional. When you're unable to play, you can't expect to improve your physical game, but you can definitely increase your knowledge...

we have a guy on our apa league who is brilliant...neuclear engineer for TVA i think....anyway he broke his foot and he made a rolling, lockable brace for it. so when he was in the boot instead of using his crutches...this unit fit where his knee would bend normally and just rest on this device. he then locked 2 wheels with his good foot and could then pivot. once settled in he shot as normal.
it was amazing to watch and worked for weeks...now he is back on his feet and hasn't missed a step

I noticed some added the link for the Virtual Pool game. That is probably my first recommendation, its lots of fun and the pool physics are quite accurate.
I would also take the suggestion from one user about getting some pool books to read. I finished "Confessions of a Pool Hustler" by Bobby Cotton. It was filled with some great road stories.
