Had a nice LARGE biopsy of a previously removed mole yesterday on my left shoulder. Rest for the wicked? HA! Black eye

8:45 CST tomorrow, rotator cuff repair -- left shoulder. Please send the masters/boomers healing vibes my way. I need to get back to running quickly so I can have fun at Boston this year (the running portion -- I know I will enjoy the city, the food, the friends and watching fast women run on Sunday)! I will post when I know more after the surgery (after my drugs wear off). After that, I may have to go into hiding until I can actually run again...

And you can quote me as saying I was mis-quoted. Groucho Marx

I've had that done to me...Yikes!!!! The Dr will have some limitations. They are not negotiable. Don't try and cut a deal. You should have physical therapy. See a PT who is a long distance runner. Female and single. I had surgery in Jan and was racing by March. I had to promise not go do better than a 12 min mile. Ask about keeping endurance up while healing the shoulder. The more often you have surgury, the more your Dr. can spend. Keep him or her on a tight budget.

Let me echo Ilene w/ the healing vibes and SteveP for the advice. Spent all day in N'ville w/ DH getting his ear cut to pieces, including a skin graft and although he is no longer or at least not currently a runner, he felt the extra cutting, etc. was due to extra $ for her! Eagerly awaiting your report! Helen
