I realized I hadn't posted since the speculative one regarding my shoulder. As the ones (maybe even fives of you!) reading these discovered last post, my shoulder was causing me grief and pain and sleepless nights, so I decided to get it checked out. The MRI showed a conclusive tear in the subscapularis attachment. On the bright side, it was a partial tear, on the more grim side, the doc referred to it as "hanging by a thread".
I could last as long as a year before needing surgical repair, or NOW! I chose the "now" option. I understand the process will suck in the extreme, in that I will be completely sidelined for at least 6 weeks from running (4-6 in a sling), and it will take longer than that to get back to full range of painless motion. Waiting to fix it seems stupid, so I am heading in for the repair on the day after Christmas.
Here's hoping the doctor doesn't celebrate too much.
