Turns out that my current shoulder troubles are not actually related to my youthful blunder. Apparently I have a 3-4 cm tear in my rotator cuff likely because of a bone spur rubbing it. The doctor say he didn't think it was because of the break in 1999. So I can let that stop being a source of self censure.
I'm sure that the tearing is due to the increased physical activity of the last year. I probably overdid a lot because I had so much energy. Lots of heavy lifting, reaching, carrying, and exercise probably caused all the rubbing and tearing. The spirit's willing but the body can't keep up.
So let's just add shoulder surgery to this year's list of hard things. It's scheduled for the last week of October. Three months of recovery. Ouch.
