The Game Progresses

It has been a while since we talked about golf.

Cody, how's your game?

You know, I had something interesting happen to me a month and a half ago, two months ago at this point.

And I am not sure what I did.

I don't know if it was one of our golf rounds.

I don't know if it was helping a certain somebody move to the West Coast.

I don't know if it was some other yard work around my house.

But I blew out my shoulder and tore my rotator cuff.

And I woke up one day and literally couldn't lift my arm.

My bicep worked and I could lift my arm up and down that way.

But in terms of like your rotator cuff, which is like a combination of muscles and tendons that help your kind of arm move pretty much any other direction, just did not work.

Got an MRI.

Okay.

There's some tearing in the labrum, which is like the socket where your arm connects, some partial tearing in the tendon, and then some partial tearing in some of the muscles.

Apparently, I found out that this is not the first time I have torn those muscles because there are some signs in some of my muscles that they said where your body tries to repair it.

And it doesn't always do a perfect job and they call it calcific tendonitis.

So it's basically like a bunch of like spiky calcium where your body tried to repair that muscle.

And that can cause some pain too and discomfort down the road.

All of that to say, I was not able to golf.

until about a week and a half ago, two weeks ago.

And the only reason I was able to golf is we got the pain down.

I've been doing physical therapy.

I do still have to have surgery.

Um, that's just an inevitability, but with the physical therapy and kind of time of kind of the swelling in my shoulder and everything going down, I have probably 90% use of my shoulder without any issue.

And, um, I asked the ortho, I was like, can I do stuff with my arm? Can I golf? And he said, yes, stretch it out and golf.
