So in less than a week I am going in for shoulder surgery at the Albuquerque VA. There are at least 3 good tears in there. The way they described it, they are gonna pretty much poke three holes in me and insert their micro-tools. They are gonna cut stuff and grind other stuff. Then they will put in some MRI-safe posts and use them as anchors to reattach everything. In my mind, I kind of picture a mess of wires behind an entertainment center that are all tangled. It's like straightening out what you can and cutting & splicing the wort of them all. By the time it is done it is like those wires are all neat and covered in plastic looms. The biggest drawback is I won't be allowed to even attempt to lift my empty paw for 6 weeks after. Then the physical therapy can start. Oh, and they told me the pain will be awful for a while after surgery too.
I share this with you, not for sympathy, but because I will probably be spending a lot less time online during recovery. Being a newer member, I didn't want you to think I went through a month-long fad and then went away, or that I got busted for making a fake squad car lol. I will try to pop in and update my status if folks seem concerned. Is it bad that I am really hoping my ¾" carbide tipped hole saw comes in the mail today so I can finish a custom bar before I go 10-7 for months? Getting bitten by the lightbar bug is a bite that never heals, apparently. XD
