Beanieman's recovery status

Here is where I plan to give updates on my current condition & recovery status. Current situation: In brace for 7-9 weeks, then physical therapy for 2-4 months. I will be seeing the Doctor today, so I may have another update later on in the day.

Current return schedule is 3-5 weeks. I begin strength training in 3 weeks, and shortly thereafter, I should be cleared to play again.

Current update: Cleared to do some putting, expected to be cleared to do field practice and play full rounds on Dec. 29. With any luck that means I can play at least one more round in 2008. I have already begun putting and although I do not have a great deal of range, I can bang putts from 25 and in pretty consistently and can throw a jump putt if it is right at the line. This helps a bunch because now at least I can play doubles, granted my partner is given an extra drive. I will be able to return for the Gentlemen's Club Classic and Memorial, and may even be able to return in time to play the Chavez Ice Bowl and the Wintertime Open.
