Are you looking at:
A. Underwater images from a Jacques Cousteau special
B. Attic insulation
C. My shoulder
If you guessed C, you were right. That's what 21 years of racing BMX will do to you. That's a partial biceps tear and a SLAP tear, now held together with Kevlar sutures. My shoulder hasn't been right for years but nothing showed up on MRIs until the biceps tear showed up a year ago after another fall. When they went in, they also found the SLAP tear which is a bigger problem. That's probably what was bugging me all those years.
Now the list of foreign substances in my body include gold, titanium, and Kevlar(thank you DuPont). I'm back to work but I'm in arm sling. It's going to be a long winter.
But I am psyched. After getting soft for six years my problem is fixed. (Well one of my problems is fixed, that only leaves 3257 others) Perhaps 2008 will be the year I get back to the gym and get back to my buff self. Here's hoping.
