As some of you know I recently was "advised" I needed my left shoulder replaced. My body is fairly beat up from 30 something years of iron, brawling in my youth and heavy labor. A really bad (near fatal) MC accident in 04 was the game changer. Recently I was really devastated when the doctor casually said no more wt training you need a shoulder replacement etc. All that after 30 seconds of moving my arm around. Never reviewed the xrays etc. It was about a 90 second consultation with doc.. We all have stress in our lives .Some more than others . Some very little some way more than is healthy.
I seem to fall in to the second group as I am sure some of my brothers here at the ug do. Last year when I had family and friends dropping like flys ug was a great help to me. Of course the ug is YOU and me. After the bad news I drove over to lake michigan and tryed to relax. Prayed on it and felt relief,
I knew then that God had put me in front of the shoulder replacement salesman to wake me the hell up.
I'm back training and rehabbing my shoulder. It's coming along just fine. I know in retrospect that to go the way of that shady doc is to put my name on the short list here on earth. This life is the only one (I) we have and to put our basic needs (exercise nutrition and postive spiritual state) aside to take care of everyone elses needs is a shortcut to not being here long for anyone. I know this may seem like a rant but really I'm saying go on and be good to yourself .
Never let anyone tell you it's time to be old and waiting for your departure time. Shit i'm wondering what the Next 50 years will bring.
Thanks, T
