Bad Shape
The next event is this morning at Kewalo's. But my shoulder is extremely sore.
It seems to be the same injury from months back. If you remember, I was surfing and fell on it real hard. It got bad to the extent I couldn't paddle, and the doctor gave me a cortisone shot, and that pretty much took care of it. Until now, it seems.
I don't know how I re-injured it. It simply started hurting a few weeks ago. It's been the worst during the previous few days, and right now I can barely lift my arm.
I've been icing it at night and taking ibuprofen in the mornings, and that's been enough to allow me to keep surfing. I don't know what's wrong, but if it doesn't start getting better in the next hour, or so, I don't think I can surf. That's a bummer because the waves are probably quite decent today.
