MRI results are in; I have a full thickness tear through the right supraspinatus which undoubtedly will require surgery. It could only be worse if it was the labrum so it’s pretty disheartening, but it can’t be changed so onward I go. It is unlikely that I’ll get surgery until I’ve passed the fire service physicals which could be months away so it may be the case that work won’t cover it, depending on how long they’ll allow me to “think about my options”. I’ll turn this L into a W sooner or later.
Today was leg day. Hit numerous PBs. Feeling fucking strong. Win after win after win after win. Just keep on winning!
