Staying Off My Surfboard For Now
This morning I had surgery for a rotator cuff tear. My shoulder had been bothering me for over 15 years. Over the years I tried ice, anti-inflammatories, cortisone injections, physical therapy and rest. As an avid surfer and physically active person, I found rest the most difficult therapy.

I had Arthroscopic surgery to repair my rotator cuff. The recovery will keep me out of the ocean and away from the gym for a while. But I am looking forward to getting back to a pain-free regular life soon. I am still vigorously campaigning to win the race for Board of Equalization.
