Holy Clavicle, I’m having shoulder surgery today!

Posted By Hup | May 26, 2009

Oh. My. Goodness. The time has come. The time to get patched up by a sugeon that I’ve only met once (I mean, he seems cool). It’s time to make right what went wrong just a couple of months ago when I somehow shoved my foot into the spokes of my roommates bike and flipping me over it’s handlebars all while riding the last block and a half to my spankin’ new San Francisco apartment. What a great way to welcome yourself into the big city, eh? Nothing says ‘this feels like home’ like a few torn ligaments in my shoulder. :)

Read all of the details of my accidental dare devil dive onto the streets on San Francisco over here in this post.

So, tomorrow at 7am I’ll be on the operating table with the goal being to fix my shoulder by drilling two holes through it and reattaching it with a cadaver’s (a dead dude’s) tendon. Yep, I’m going to have a dead man’s (or woman’s?) tendon in my shoulder from here on out, which really only makes me think about how I hope he or she had some great karma. I mean the well-being of my shoulder practically depends on it.

Ok, who am I kidding? This thing has Hanna Montana horror movie written all over it. My shoulder is going to turn into Jamie Lee Curtis and make me eat Activia yogurt so that my digestive system doesn’t act up (see video embed below).

All I really need is some sympathy, people. Is that too much to ask? I don’t think so.

Tomorrow I’ll be a whole new man. Well, a whole new man who’s going to be on some really strong pain killers. Wish me and my nurse Stephanie good luck and be sure to keep us in your prayers. May the force be with my clavicle.

More soon…

      nic’s right - I hope Steph took the video camera and asked you all sorts of questions as the anaesthesia took effect…

      Does having a dead dude or chick’s tendon in your shoulder mean you are now part zombified? Just sayin’. Hope all went well. Heal fast!

    What do you want to tell us, hmmm?
