I think that is a wise choice. I'll talk to you…

Hope it goes well Nate. Get better.

Best Wishes for a short and successful surgery.

I hope you get better soon! Keep your spirits up.

Good luck @cipher! I'm hoping everything goes well and you get better by next season.

Thank you everyone.  Many of you have been more help to me this year than you realize.  I will be contacting the hand surgeon this week and will see about getting it scheduled for sometime around January.

It has been a long time coming but I made my first real swings today in a very long time.  I only hit about 30 balls, but it felt great.  The wrist has some very slight soreness but overall it felt ve

How long is the recovery period, generally speaking, afterward? How likely are you to get to 100% (or 90%, or 95%, or whatever %) mobility/strength?

Going to ask a bit more, but should be close to 100% recovery possible.   6 weeks casted and 6-8 weeks of recovery after cast is removed.

Thanks Matt.  I am hopefully getting my first boat over the winter.  I see lots of Bass and Pike fishing in my future. :-)

Thank you, I am not sure I have handled it super well, but I have been trying anyway.  It helps to distract myself with other hobbies I enjoy as well.

Saw the Doc this morning and got my MRI results back.  Turns out I actually have a couple things in the left wrist the need to be surgically repaired.  The ECU tendon subluxation problem I was aware of and the MRI just confirmed that it does need to be repaired.  Basically this means replacing the sub-sheath holding the tendon tightly to the Ulnar bone.  They will also need to shave the groove in the bone a bit deeper.  The other thing that needs repair is the TFCC(Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex), whatever the heck that is.  Just waiting on scheduling to call me at this point to schedule the surgery.  The recovery time is about 3 months.  About a month in a cast and a couple more of PT before I would be ready to play again.  Hopefully we can get this scheduled sooner rather than later, and I can see the course this year.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
