In March I hurt my left shoulder by falling down a flight of stairs. How and why shall remain a mystery, Of course, as usual, I decided to ignore the pain, figuring that it would go away in a couple of days. That didn't happen so eventually in May I had x-rays and saw a doctor who confirmed that my shoulder was separated, muscles and ligaments were torn and my rotator cuff was damaged. Tried some physiotherapy, but the result is an appointment in August with an orthopedic surgeon to schedule surgery hopefully before Christmas. Well, not being able to lift my arm has certainly cut into any chances of surfing and windsurfing so far this year. A bit of a bummer as there have been some good days. Looks like I have been relegated to take photos...
