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!
Wayne......quite waiting and get the darn thing fixed!! Just like you advised me on lasik a couple of years back!
Truth be told........I'm going to need to work on that bizarre stroke a bit more if evil-goodsmith rises to my challenge for next years nats; off events!
JS has to swim: 50 back, 100 back, 100 fly, 50 ***, 200IM (he can pick his 6th)
Me: 200IM, 400IM, 500 free, 1000 free, 100 back, not sure on the 6th.
Ion.......we'll bring you into the challenge; off events as well!
The main purpose of this of course is to end each day in so much pain that WE have to enter the beer relays that Mark Gill has proposed!
