Wednesday is my labrum surgery, and as you can guess I’m a bit anxious. But after all of the homework I’ve done, the consensus of people I’ve talked to — doctors, physcial therapists, family — is virtually unanimous; this needs to be done. I spoke to my doctor today and he reassured me about the procedure, which will likely take 45-90 minutes depending on whether they find damage in my rotator cuff as well. Inquiring GMs are standing by, trying to gauge whether to offer me an NRI to go with my MRI.

Thanks to everybody who’s called or written over the past several days to wish me the best. My surgery will be sometime Wednesday morning, and I’ll be home by the afternoon. I should be back in my usual chair in a couple of days, when we’ll see how well I can blog with my left hand and a few painkillers.
