Mark it on your calendars... Oct 21st, 2004 will be the second surgery of the year (a new record).

This time, the surgery is on my left wrist. The one that I hurt playing hockey **I think** when I was in the men's league about 2 years ago. All I really remember was getting changed after the game, going to pickup my equipment and my wrist started to kill. I couldn't close my hand or even masturbate :) I tried to play again a few months later but people could just smack the stick out of my hand. There just wasn't the strength in the wrist to hold it firmly (my hockey stick).

I know, you're like "why the hell did he wait 2 years to get it fixed" and that I blame on the medical community. I was willing to fix it when it hurt, not 1.5 years later when it was feeling somewhat fine. Doctors will be Doctors. Obviously they know the severity better than you do.

The doctor gave me no guarantee that it could be completely fixed after all that time, but we'll go for it anyway!! I like his enthusiasm, except the comment of, "if that doesn't work, we can try to shorten the bone"... which I sometimes have to say to the ladies... but shortening the bone in my wrist, that might be a little too over board.

Anyhoo, post-surgery I'll be in a cast for 6 weeks then I plan on pursuing my life-long dream of running out on a baseball field during a game... errr, I mean getting back into hockey and not playing hurt.

We shall see... we shall see
