Well, the surgery went flawless. However, they found a major problem when they went in. The bicep terminates into a big rope of a tendon, and this tendon enters into the shoulder and is attached to cartilage, the cartilage is attached to the bone. Somehow my tendon pulled half the cartilage off the bone, and the cartilage tore down its middle. Had this piece of cartilage completely tore off the bone, my bicep would have retracted into a little ball in my arm. They fixed the tear, in part by anchoring the tendon and cartilage to the bone (the anchor looked like a little harpoon, I have a video of the whole thing). The impingement problem was fixed by shaving the bone down. I have no idea how the tear occurred but I have been living with it for a long time. I cant believe I didnt completely tear it from the bone. I finally returned to work today.

The problem now is that the cartliage needs to regenerate to the bone, and this takes time. Any use of my bicep pulls on the cartilage which will prevent re-attachment. Bottom line is I aint fishing anytime soon. Doc said 6 weeks (and he added, knowing nothing about my interests, "you wont be fishing for big fish for a while", I thought that was funny). Ouch.

Im not in much pain, only hurts when I wake up. Vikaden and Sierra pale in combination seems to eliminate the pain and ensures a good night sleep :P

Well, maybe in 3 weeks I can go dropshotting, or maybe learn to troll. Reeling the fish in would be a problem. Oh well.
