Success!

Hi.

It's been ten days since the surgery and I'm super excited to report that the surgery was such a huge success that I was able to take my arm out of the sling yesterday.
The Dr. reported that he took out a substantial amount of calcium and that there were NO torn tendons or damaged muscles either. The pain going down my arm has since disappeared as well as the numbing feeling that I was experiencing in my fingers... YAY to a successful surgery!

THANKS FOR ALL THE PRAYERS!

If you can sense that I'm getting excited to get out there you should know that the golf bug is pulling towards the course and that I'll be starting my come back on Wednesday with a few hours of short game!!! Don't worry... I won't over do it and do too much... haha

On a side note: I offered my time to a awesome charity called the Tembaletu School Project which is in Guguletu (for those that don't know the area: poor shacks, no running water, electricity etc.) It is one of the Hillsong Africa Foundation projects which promotes equal access to a high standard of education and life skills development for children with disabilities. It also creates a safe environment, free from predatory behaviour and dangerous elements and provides dignity, love, confidence and will enrich the lives of children from these disadvantaged communities.

It's a awesome cause and I'm looking forward to hanging out with these kids tomorrow at the first fundraiser in Guguletu.

I'm very confident that I'll be back playing full time on the Sunshine Tour in mid October!!!

I'll blog again in a couple weeks to keep you updated on the progress of my game.

Have a good week and chat soon.

God bless.

Surgery

Hi.

I'm writing my blog from the rather coldish South Africa!

It's always good to be home and I'm enjoying the odd bit of sunlight we get from time to time here in Cape Town.
I'm being taken under the knife on Friday morning to have this calcium removed from my shoulder- I've tried the rehab and both shoulder specialists I've seen have recommended that I have it surgically removed.

I've never thought that I'd be this excited to be put to sleep (for an hour or so) but I can't wait to get back into golf without any distractions or hiccups! The latest with my recovery period, and we will know more after the surgery, is between two to six weeks. If nothing is too damaged and they don't have to do any repair work on the shoulder other that the removal of the calcium then I can get back to full mobility within two weeks and should then be teeing it up middle to end of October.

I'll keep you all updated and I will know more once they get in there and have a look!

There aren't many funny stories from my traveling at the moment but I'm sure they'll be streaming in once I get back out on the road and join the guys on the tour!!

Thanks for all the constant well wishes! They are truly appreciated.

Have a good day and God Bless.
