Marathon Maniac #957
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
I can hunt and peck with one hand. But all typos and misspellings must be forgiven me. The surgery went well. The coming to in the recovery room, not so much. Apparently only 88% oxygenated blood is a problem. The exciting part was later getting to ride in an ambulance through a big rainstorm to spend the night in a hospital. I've been in ambulances before but I've never been conscious at the time. Because of the rain they covered me and my gurney completely with a yellow tarp. Since I figured that would look like they were bringing in a DOA, I stuck my hand out and wiggled my fingers so folks in the emergency room would wig out! (yes, I am really only 6 years old ) So now I am home with my vicodin on board, my left arm in a sling, and my shoulder all bandaged up. Its all uphill from here. My rotator cuff tear is all sewn up neat and the healing has begun. Next week I get the dressing off and find out how long I have to stay in the sling. I am still hoping to do the half at Surf City, no goal time, just finish.
And you can quote me as saying I was mis-quoted. Groucho Marx

Be safe. Be kind.
