Not looking for sympathy or anything just a heads up as to why getting old sucks balls. Lifting heavy most of my life and working hard labor as well adds up. A few weeks back at work took a bad fall and felt some things go the wrong way lol. Well turns out I have a full tear of my supraspinatus in my rotator and a partial tear of the tricep tendon.
To add more fun, I also have partial tears in the same elbow of my radial collateral ligament, common extensor tendon and common flexor tendon.
And it gets better...a torn meniscus in my knee. Fuck me!
I will be having a bunch of surgeries coming up, and will be out of commission for quite awhile. Best case for me is next spring I will be back in the gym easing back and somewhat normal by the summer.
Never posted about it at the time because I was very down on myself but I tore the tricep tendon on the opposite arm a few years back and had surgery and recovered nicely so I'm sure all will go well.
So right now it's all about clean diet and cardio as much as my knee will allow. Slim down and stay lean at about 225 for the foreseeable future. It's definitely time to reevaluate and look at the big picture. There is a time for all of us to face facts as we get older and this is mine.
And you know what? Im ok with it.
