This is the year for some repairs to the body. First, twenty years after orthodontic braces, some of my teeth shifted enough to impact my bite. The result was constant headaches and a sore neck. Thus, the braces have been back on since January and I expect them on for another twelve months. On a positive note, the teeth are responding nicely and the headaches have already disappeared.
Secondly, my left hip has been bothering me for the past few months and physiotherapy hasn't helped. After a trip to the doctor and some x-rays, I was referred to a orthopedic specialist in Hong Kong. After an exam, I was told I need arthroscopic surgery to repair an impingement. Details can be found here. Surgery is scheduled for May 14, less than one month from my appointment with the surgeon. I feel fortunate as my surgeon is highly thought of, and he has worked on a number of high level athletes. Check out his profile here. I'll be on crutches for two weeks after surgery, followed by three months of rehab. No golf this summer!
