Getting my first surgery

Damn...almost made it 31 years before I had to say those words.

Quick recap;

>play in scrimmage
>catch a kickoff- impending tackle from charging meathead
>attempt to stiff-arm- not very effective
>sharp pain in left wrist from impact
>be almost 4 weeks later and still hurts like a mug
>new health insurance kicks in- thanks UPS
>get xrays- probably torn scapho-lunate ligament

In a nutshell the X-Ray showed a very obvious separation between the Scaphoid and Lunate bones. So in a week or two Ill get an MRI to confirm there is a torn ligament. Then surgery probably beginning of the year. Unless I can work with it then sooner. Trouble is at work we have the dreaded "Peak" season coming. Long ass days and hard ass work. May be tough with a cast on one hand. 

Luckily I can still finish the season. Well not that it would matter since I've been playing on the damn thing anyways. Just sucks knowing theres a ligament in my wrist that is torn apart. And only fix is surgery. If you know me Im big into active rehab measures to fix what ails ya. Not the case here. It will only get worse if it isn't addressed sooner than later.

So once I get over a base program, i.e. a LOT of a volume work and not very heavy weights, its off to the squat cave I go and not to emerge until likely late February or March.
