June/July 2006

Dear all-
I want to update you on my arm.
1- it's fine!
2- no surgery necessary.
3- healing time 4-6 weeks.
4- light jazz therapy encouraged around 28-29 july at baked potato.
5- interim punk/metal crooning optional at patient's discretion!

Thanks for your love, prayers, support and concern!
Best-
t

ps: for those of you who want details-

The tendon that ran from one head of my biceps to the shoulder snapped. It could be surgically re-attached for mainly cosmetic reasons (like if i was a competitive body builder and concerned w/ symmetry). Otherwise there are other tendons that do the job (hence, my 100% mobility is intact) . Part of the muscle will hang a little lower but very little strength will be lost.

Through out this I have had no real pain aside from the slight topical soreness due to the swelling and fluid that stretched my skin around the area. In fact, my shoulder was so tight and painful before, this accident actually relieved that pain and is similar to the surgery they would do to relieve it!
