Back in the saddle?!

So I finally managed to drag my butt out of bed, have Laura "hose" me off and reapply bandages at which point I "barked" at her for ripping out some hair........so she finally took off for a few hours of working out (on a punching bag no doubt) and now I start over! Probably sounds familar to a few of you........just getting home from shoulder surgery............this time a repeat of the repair to my left side four years ago now on the right. I tired for 18 months to deal with it in every possible way......but when they cut off any further cortisone injections last April it was time to make plans. In my case it was an arthritic conditon leaving a bone spur in the a/c joing which was causing a ton of impingement. Apparently when the doc got inside yesterday morning the dmamage was worse then expected.....in fact there was missing cartilage (plan dissolved). Apparently my hyper mobile shoulders make things worse......the amount of damage required 1/4" of the clacicle to be reomved and a fair amount of bone shaved down. So......the countdown begins!! Back for next May is the goal, starting with getting on a spin bike tomorrow, PT 3x a week starting thursday, kick only workouts for a few months in mid october, then chsing evil-goodsmith around the pool starting 1/1 (he doesn't know I got a membership t his club yet)! So I passed my first hurdle, left hand typing and mouse use....getty-up!

    Evil One, This morning I told your wife to rip off the dressing and yell my name out loud. I'm glad to see she followed at least half of my instructions. Wait until tonight. I have instructed her to roll over on top of your bad shoulder. In addition, I have informed her to leave notes by your bedside with my name on them throughout your recovery. This kind of constant aggrevation and pain associated with my name will help your recovery. Thank me later, The Good Smith
