Its been almost 3 weeks since my last post, but there is good reason for that. On May 3rd I headed back downtown to the Mayo Clinic for yet another surgery. Just in case you were scoring at home, thats 3 surgeries in the last 2 years. (Note that I have found no correlation between turning 30 and my body falling apart faster the Howard Dean in the '04 primaries). I went in this time to have a partially torn rotator cuff fixed. For the past 3 summers it has felt like someone was stabbing a knife into my shoulder everytime I played softball or volleyball, so it needed to fixed. I've still got my arm in a sling, but I am able to finally type with two hands instead of the extremely frustrating hunt and peck method.
Seeing that I've had surgery on my left knee and my right shoulder, along with destroying my left shoulder 5 years ago, I guess that leaves my right knee as the one remaining fully functional joint. I'm pretty sure that no amount of Xbox360 or vegging out in front of the TV will rob me of my good knee. Looks like I'll have to wait until the Lord calls me home to get that Nolan Ryan-esque fastball back.
