Just a quick update on the shoulder surgery: Surgery was two weeks ago and went very well. It turns out there was no labrum tear as suspected, but I did have (and let me try to get the Latin medical terminology correct here but not the spelling) an acromioplasty and bursectomy.
Essentially, in layman’s terms, the surgeon shaved down my shoulder bone and removed the right bursa (you have one in every joint of your body) as well as a bunch of scar tissue that surrounded said bursa. Apparently, I had zero room in my shoulder joint, hence all of the pain and limited mobility. So, I now have a cleaned up shoulder joint.
With 6 weeks of physical therapy ahead of me, I’m looking at about two months total time for a full recovery. Not too shabby.
In the meantime, I’m back to work and will get back to blogging as well.
Thank you for all of the support through the recovery so far! Looking forward to jumping back into the fray!

My 0 years of Latin in school taught me nothing. Sounds like you’re on the mend and will be golfing in October.
Peter: That’s the hope is that I could possibly get in a round or two in October before the weather turns. (We have a much shorter golf season here in Utah, about 5 months.)
