Andy M. said:I'm scheduled for surgery on Sept. 20th. The tear is bad enough he thinks I'll be better off in the long run. Not fixing it would lead to advanced arthritis, continued pain and limited movement. Then four weeks recoop followed by 6 weeks of PT. Hopefully all better for the holidays and Aruba in January.

Good thing you went and got that MRI. Surgery . Well, I guess it's the best thing for it. I wish you a speedy and complete recovery and some really good pain meds.I'm scheduled for surgery on Sept. 20th. The tear is bad enough he thinks I'll be better off in the long run.

Halloween, now there's a good idea.It's all worth the bother; you won't be sorry -- and you might want to keep it handy for Halloween.
...Any idea how you tore it?
Andy M. said:Not a clue. The most likely explanation is that there was not single catastrophic event that caused it to go from fine to torn. More likely the result of 'wear and tear' over time with some mundane event making the final tear.
It doesn't hep that I'm right-handed. After surgery I will have mobility from the elbow down. No upper arm/shoulder movement allowed except for PT a month after surgery. I'll basically have my upper arm strapped to my side. That should make for some interesting daily challenges.
Good thing the next Olympics is 3 years away. We were hoping you would lead Team USA in the Kitchenaid Toilet Toss.

You guys are never going to let him forget that.
Leaving soon to see the ortho Dr. to find out what the MRI told him and to find out what's in store for me. I looked at the MRI images and while it's cool to look at, it all meant nothing to me. I guess I defer to the Dr.'s diagnosis and course of treatment.
