Poor thing! It spoke to me so much, I never listened to it. I kept on pushing it beyond its limit. Ah! thos blissful summer days of sports... play from morning 10 til 6 .. Volleyball, Cricket, just Catch-Catch and Tennis in the evening.. what more did I need. Being allergic to egg, not eating any meat, was strictly on "Anna saaru" to build muscles (yea rite!).. My tennis coach used to say "drink a glass of milk but add a raw egg into it" - prepared it one day and thats it.. never to get close to smelling that thing again is what i said to myself... Those days of glory at school.. was the President, was the school volleyball captain.. a role model for all (good, bad!)... what more.. just kept on jumping and hitting smash after smash. Not enough?? train others to receive smashes by making them stand in a circle and keep smashing at them... macho man huh!! gave it a small break during Pre-University days, but then only to resume more fiercly in Eng. Every free period, weekends, evenings, knew nothing but to play volleyball! well it gave me a glimpse of what was coming when I could not deliver when needed (we lost our match against Electronics team) :-( .. sad but true.. that opened my eyes only to close again... came to the U.S. started shuttle badminton.. oh this is easy.. not much stress at all.. and then one day in January .. it said.. here you go! pay for it now! my shoulder clicked.. felt as if I was holding a 100 kg weight !.. stopped for a few minutes to relax and contd... thinking.. yea yea.. i know its ok..
And now...
Diagnosed with SLAP (Superior Labrum from Anterior to Posterior) .. in simple terms have a tear that won't heal with simple physical therapy.. need to sew it together.. (its weeping - my shoulder ofcourse)... but there's no other go.. if i have to get back to some sort of sport or physical exercise routine.. Unfortunately my other shoulder is saying.. i guess you tore me too... now i feel like thakur from Sholay - the only difference - he lost it when gabbar cut his both hands and me! I TORE THEM BOTH !! SOB SOB....
