Taking out the Trash

God, I’m crazy.

Nah, that's me =) You're alright......or are you?????????????

HAHA! Just trying to cheer you up a bit.

So I saw the shoulder guy. Of course I need an MRI now. The ultrasound wasn’t good enough. Good news is I already got an appointment for this weekend. Then I go at the end of the month for details on the surgery. He said I probably won’t be able to lift for 6 months. That sucks, but at least the ball is rolling. He said if I don’t get it fixed the rotator cuff will just continue to tear over time. Then when it hurts too much, or I can’t use my arm, it becomes a salvage surgery. Better now than later.

Yeah, the sunny side is that this is forward progress.

Geez! Well, be glad you caught it now. I've known plenty of people who have had to have multiple rotator cuff surgeries. Can't shoot a gun, operate a boat, swing a golf club, etc for YEARS! All because they kept putting it off.

It sounds promising the approach you're taking.

Good news. After the MRI I got a message from the orthopedic doctor. He said it looks likely I’ll have arthroscopic surgery. That means I’m back in action faster. I can’t wait! I walked into work this morning and 2 doctors and 2 nurses were talking about deadlifts. They were complaining about them and one doctor said he would rather squat. A million things went through my head about DL and squat form and the difference between the 2 lifts beginning fro the starting points. I just kept my mouth shut though

GREAT NEWS!

Doctors are completely clueless and waaaaaaaaaay behind when it comes to lifting and nutrition. They still operate on guidelines and theories from the 70's. Good for you for biting your tongue! I would have just laughed my ass off the whole time.

Going under the knife on 2/24. It’s official. About 4-6 weeks out I’ll start PT. Looks like 3 months of recovery before I can start trading. Better than 6 months.

That is good news!

I hate to have to even do this but I’m excited to get it done. I can’t wait to get back to some kind of training. In other news I passed on my Arnold Schwarzenegger Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding to my grandson. He’s going to Planet Fitness with his step dad. I have to get my shoulder done so he can embarrass me in the gym LOL.

You got the dates, so now you can set the goals.
