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

Surgery went well.  It sounds like the TFCC problem did not really need to be fixed, but he was able to fix the ECU tendon sub-sheath.   I am not 100% sure though because the doc spoke with my wife after the surgery and she had no clue what he was saying really. :-) The pain is pretty good today, but mainly because I am not taking the heavy stuff that was prescribed to me.  They said it would be okay for me to manage with just ibuprofen if I wanted.  Anyway, that is if for now, because typing with one hand is pretty annoying.

Here is a picture of the monster cast they put on me.   :-D

You need to start coming up with different stories as to why you have the cast. Be creative!

Hope you get back to 100% soon.

I would be interested to know about what you mean the TFCC problem didn't need to be fixed.. (I don't know what it is), but I'm more interested in what happened.. Was it something the doctor told you he had to fix and then found out once he got in that he was wrong ect..  Anyway, keep the heavy typing for when you get better!  I'm glad it all went well.

Dr. just called me.  He did actually have to do a slight repair on the TFCC.  My wife was mistaken on that.  He was just explaining to her that it was not as bad as he feared.  Basically the ECU and TFCC are close together, but I believe he still had to access them separately.  

Here is a source on TFCC injuries:

Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) Tear - Wrist ...

The ECU tendon injury was what we knew for sure needed repair.  When he opened it up he could see a lot of irritation.  There was a word he used for it, but I can't recall the name.  The tendon itself actually had a bit of a tear in it, which he removed.  The sub-sheath that covers it actually was not torn, but just stretched out and he was able to re-use it and repair that.  This is good as a full tear would have meant that he would have needed to rebuild it from something else.

All in all this is some pretty good news as far as the surgery goes, even though he had to fix two things.  He did not have to deepen there groove in the ulnar bone where the ECU sits so that is a plus.

Good to hear the surgery went well, @cipher! Hopefully you recover/rehab well and you'll be back on the course this year.

Yeah the bad part is the shoulder was kind of messed up during the surgery with how they must have had to stretch my arm out, so lugging this giant cast around has not been too fun.

I get this one off on the 15th and then I will get a more "reasonable" one that I will have until early March.  After that I have 2 months of PT.

But that isn't going to stop me from getting excited every time I see that @cipher posted in @cipher's swing thread. "Sweet!  He's already back at it!!!"  "Oh. :8)"

Sounds like the healing is going quick. The PT should help speed things along too. Best wishes for a quick recover and hope you get back to swinging the clubs real soon.

While you have that on, you should just go up to people who are busy with something and say, "Can I lend you a hand?". Steady goes the recovery.

      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.
