A Runner Who Can’t Run

The Disabled List.  The Injured Reserved.  Down for the count.  There are lots of ways to say it but no matter what term I use, I’m still a runner who can’t run.  At least for the next few months.  I had surgery a few days ago to repair my rotator cuff.  Dr. Kwartowitz says my shoulder wasn’t as bad as he thought so hopefully the recovery will be faster than planned.

For the next 30 days I have to use a CPM machine (Continuous Passive Motion) three times a day for one to two hours to keep the shoulder from freezing up.  Then a couple months of therapy.  Then back to running.  

I hope to keep posting while I’m in therapy but since I’m typing with my wrong hand the entries may be short.
