doc just called and said i need shoulder surgery. i knew it was coming. just sad because i'm in the best shape of my life and my basketball game has gone to a new level the last couple of weeks. now, i just have to focus on the positive (i'll be able to throw! god, i've missed that feeling), and that this is just another opportunity to prove my resilience and toughness, and to get myself back in even better shape than i ever have before.

i hope the scars are small. i rather like my arms and shoulders as is.
