i am heading to Jamaica in 14 days. happy to be going, pissed because my training has been suffering badly the last few months. not in the condition i hoped to be in due to my right rotator cuff finally requiring surgery. over the last two years coming back from my left rotator cuff repair the right one has been getting increasingly worse. the right one was the initial reason for visiting the surgeon 5 plus years ago and they were suggesting possible surgery then but cortisone every year or two kept it going until the left one suddenly got bad and needed surgery and then the cortisone started becoming every six months and then every three months and finally June 6th he showed me my most recent MRI and said like before, smaller tears are much easier to repair and rehab than complete tears and if i keep training heavy without the surgery it'll be a complete tear sooner than later so i scheduled it for the monday i get back from vacation. Bummed as fuck because the four months no weight training last time in September 2017 thru Feb 2018 was torturous but i remember thinking as my left shoulder was rehabbing and getting stronger and pain free while the training resumed and weights commenced that the right one was still causing pain and limiting not only the weight lifted but the exercises i could do without pain so on the plus side i know once i am cleared to terrorize the gym again around thanksgiving i will be focused on becoming beast like for cancun next summer and i won't be tempted to start eating crap around the holidays. Just trying to stay positive and focus on the shredded beast i am focused on being after (hopefully) the last surgery now that i'll have the complete set of updated and upgraded repaired shoulders.
