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!
I guess that's like Michael Phelps putting Ian Crocker's picture on his wall.
Paul, I heard whispers about the surgery. Glad to hear you're coming out of it well. Nationals isn't nationals to me without you breaking every record in sight and commenting on my backstroke kick.
Rich, good luck with your surgery, too.
I certainly hope my luck with swimming injuries (zero in my 27 years) continues. My biggest fear -- after snakes -- is going under the knife. This is why I can never make it through an entire episode of "ER." I make it through a whole hour of "House," but Hugh Laurie helps with that!
