Fatty,

I also had a SLAP tear, but on my right shoulder. It went miss diagnosed for over a year! The only way they new about the tear was when they went in orthoscoptically to do a simple “Mumford” procedure. The Doctors botched the surgery trying to fix it and now I’m worse off than I was before!

Fatty, by all means have the surgery done. But be realistically prepared for the pain of rehab. After I crashed in the Towne Bank Criterium on April 1 (no jokes, please) I broke my right collarbone and upper right rib, and whacked my right hip and elbow so hard I was in a wheelchair for three weeks and using a cane for two after that. Thank God the hip healed by itself over time, but the right clavicle had to be reassembled from multiple pieces with screws and metal. Never would have make it without friends and neighbors coming over to carry me up and down the stairs before I got situated with a Lazy-Boy recliner right in front of a new 1080p LCD HDTV. Jon Stewart is absolutely hilarious after two Percocets.

Then rehab aka torture started. Then later the metal plate started to peek outside the skin for a breath of fresh air, so another surgery 7 weeks post op first surgery, to remove everything. Then more rehab, then the massage therapy. Don’t think relaxation. Think of the pain of having your fascia separated from unused underlying structure in your body. Yep! It feels just like ripping the flesh off your body and injecting liquid fire to take it’s place, except not quite as good as that. And most of the lingering problem is the shoulder and elbow that got whacked when the bone snapped apart, but Dana, my (deep neuromuscular) massage therapist knows how to get those working again: her attention, my pain, then time and extended motion. Continuous improvement, but lots of discomfort.

So after all this is “over” all I get is a lumpy clavicle, a weaker shoulder that I’m trying to build back up over time, and a real bitchin’ scar that most cyclists at a pool party recognize immediately. I suppose that, if for nothing else, the surgery was good for that.

But the rehab really is working amazingly well. I’m only three months post 2nd op, and I was able to ride the Blue Ridge Extreme (Metric) Century ride in late August, which leaves from Afton Mtn, VA, cruises southwest into the valley, soars up from Vesuvius to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and then takes you crawling and screaming back to Rockfish Gap at Afton. Only about 7500+ feet of climbing, so it’s wimpy where you come from, but quite different for us from those flat sandy beach boardwalk rides.

Naturally I was 17 minutes slower this year than last, but my adjusted performance goal was just to finish while not losing control over the bicycle at 40+mph with no guardrails. Good thing my wife doesn’t read your Blog…

I had my fourth year med student wife read your MRI and somewhere during the reading she said, “his shoulder is basically like a pair of underwear with the waistband worn out.”

So, I guess what it comes down to is a simple question, are you the type of guy who will wear the same ol’ ratty boxers/ briefs (ewww) until they rot off?

I echo Botched’s CRAP! Sans – If you’re reading this, I forgot to put friends of Fatty in the comments section. I’m the one who mentioned that I’d drive to work if I didn’t live close enough to public transportation. (NYC)

Fatty – Ask Susan, and my vote is to get it fixed.

I’m just a professional (like KT, but I don’t have a dog).

Get the surgery as soon as possible that won’t interfere with being a good husband/ father to the point of all family members suffering when not necessary.

That should be vague enough!

Sans Auto – count another survey dun!
