tis but a flesh wound
It’s official (mostly as I’m awaiting a letter from his assistant).
October 11th is when I’ll be getting my shoulder fixed. After ely’s wedding, but 15 days before the clemson game so I can have enough time to recover and still go!
The guy that’ll be fixing me is Dr. Ray Thal, the team doctor for the Redskins, so that’s sorta cool. His office has a wall covered with signed pics of the players. I’m not sure of the time yet as that’ll be determined by the assistant, but according to him, I’ll be able to type (yay world of warcraft!) just a couple days after the surgery.
What’s wrong with my shoulder? Well, it dislocates if I look at it funny. Once in my shoulder, he’ll be tightening up some things. Also, according to the MRI, there’s a tear in the labrum that connects the ball to the socket. Soooo, that’s what he’ll be repairing. It’s an arthroscopic procedure so there’ll just be a couple holes in the shoulder. The way the tear is, he’ll be using these little anchors that attach to the bone to hold it on there. The picture he showed me makes them look like drywall anchors. seriously. I have the little pamphlet at home so I’ll upload the pics later.
