So, I'm getting surgery a week from Monday. After beating up my body in the Marines, hockey, CrossFit and all other kinds of crazy stuff, my shoulder has finally decided that it has had enough and that it's time to get fixed. Exact procedure is called a Latarjet transfer. Basically, it's an arthroscopic procedure where the doctor is going to rearrange some bone tissue to replace some bone loss in my socket.. as well as repair all the broken ligaments that have quit on me. As painful as this sounds, I am excited for my shoulder to return to its rightful place in its socket...
I am going to start blogging again to remind myself of my progress and the love that God has for me. I was pretty frustrated with the idea of another surgery, especially after my Achilles repair in 2012. But, unlike last time, I understand that there is a beauty of healing, and in pain. In being vulnerable and in need of healing, we can see God work through others in their very best. I know I will see it in my family: both my blood coming to Dallas to help me out and my family at CrossFit Big D and my parish.
I am going to be stronger than ever in this because He is greatest when I am weakest. Lord knows that I am going to be plenty weak for plenty of time.
