Surgery
It's after midnight, so I am a little late posting. I ran at the track at midnight last night to get in a run on surgery day. It was raining and the track was mostly mud. I can imagine what people driving by the track thought if they saw me running. I got to the hospital at 6:30 this morning. In pre-op, they got concerned about my pulse rate of 48. I had to explain that it was from running. My surgery lasted about 2 hours. The doctor was pleased that he was able to gather all of the torn muscles and attached them to the bone. He was also able to remove a bone spur, which had been cutting on the muscles and causing a lot of the problem. I will be wearing a big sling for a while. Tomorrow (Friday), I will have to make a decision on continuing my streak. The doctor is afraid the movement may put too much pressure on the newly anchored muscles.
