Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Mojo in the morning. All right, I got
some bad news and this is not great. But I
need some help from some listeners on this one. Remember
when I fell and I posted the picture of my
bruises and stuff. But the good news is my bruises
are way less. I've been I've been doing this laser
thing with doctor Marvin, who's been amazing. Doctor Marvin from

(00:26):
Body Pain. I don't know what the heck it's called
this in West Bloomfields.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Doctor Marvin got to shout it out, get it right?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Should I get it right? All as?

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Let me look and see you have been reading about
how much this helped. While you're looking for that, I
have noticed you. And if you watch the live on Facebook,
you've noticed Mojo hanging onto your shoulder throughout the entire show.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
So the doctor Marvin's Michigan Spine and Pain on Maple
Road in West Bloomfield. He's a friend of Ryan Lashes,
so thank you to him.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
My shoulders not good.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
So I have an appointment today with Michigan Orthopedic Surgeons
and I went and visited some doctors after taking an
MRI and I have I wrote it down on my
phone or actually I had the doctor speak it, I
have a full thickness tear of my subscapolaris tendon. Yes,

(01:21):
seventy five percent of my tendon is torn and retracted
seventy I actually, when I fell down the stairs and
I was so just concerned about sliding down the stairs,
I dislocated my shoulder. But it popped back in the
place I guess when I got back up. Isn't that crazy?
But it caused a for a for a a terear.

(01:42):
So with this said, they want me to have surgery.
They told me that this listen to this and you
tell me if I'm FT, I have to have surgery.
I'd have to take four days off, probably for the postop.
After the shirt, I will be in a sling for

(02:02):
four to six weeks. I will not be able to
drive during the four to six weeks because legally you
cannot drive with one arm, which I don't understand that,
because if you're an amputated human being, how can you
drive with one arm.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
To get that thing on your wheel right? I don't
know the adaptive like handle, So I cannot drive.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
So I this is that that will be crazy. I
will have no activity. I won't be able to golf
or do anything for six months memo the whole summer,
my summers.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
That's like your happiness during the summer.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
First off, there's only three months of summer in this place, right.
We don't get much good weather here, so you get
ninety days pretty much of that. And that's all I'd
like to do in the summertime is is uh, you know, golf.
And then the other thing that sucks about the whole
deal is that's been my fear. My fear is gaining weight.
I've been really trying to you know, be active. Ye,

(02:54):
my fear is all of a sudden, this is another
an obstacle in my you know, trying to lose weight
and stay active. Although you could still and you but
my walking was golfing like I was walking Asian.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Can you put off the surgery till the end of
the summer so at least you get some a few
months of golf.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
In I'm going to see a doc today.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
But according according to one of the docks that I saw,
they said that they earlier they get to this the
better because of you know, everything is in you know,
is still attached. Also, but well, well then I don't
think I know I definitely hurt. I can't do anything
for for four weeks minimum, no matter what.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
No, I'm saying, like right now, even if you said, okay,
I'm going to push the surgery back to August, which
you which you can't do. You just explained, but could
you golf? Or are you in that much pain that
you couldn't do it?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
There is a possibility and some people have told me
this in including the doctor, but he didn't recommend it
that I could just put this off completely and just
say I'll do physical therapy. But then you have a
risk of you lose you lose motion or like I
can't like lifting my arm, I have to do it
really slowly like this. Yeah, that might be my every
day if I have like where I have to. But
then then again, it's my non dominant arm, it's my

(04:02):
left So don't ask me to raise my hands up
in the air and wave them like.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
I just don't care.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
And you're trying to say this naturally, right, I would
like to. Can I recommend a product?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Have you I know Calvin Johnson brought him into us.
Have you used his Primitive performance cream. It's like a
icy hot that has CBD in it amazing you listen,
not sponsored.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Ten out of ten would recommend that product. I use
it on.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Every bump, bruise, soreness, pulled muscle, every that stuff. Chef's
kiss amazing, and I would put it on for now
and see if it gives you more range of motion.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I honestly would like to do everything I can do
if I could without having to do surgery, because I
just don't like going.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
I don't want to go on anything knife.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, and where this is not cancer, it's not hard,
you know issues.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
I had hard issues. I would never wait on something
like that.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
I just sit there and I think to myself, I'm like,
this is like one summer out of my life. This
is morbid to think this. What if I die next year?
This is my last summer. No, I'm being serious. I
got six months in a freaking sling. So my fear
is this, So this is kind of my thing. I
don't know, is there any listeners that put have put
off surgery and miraculously were healed, or is there any

(05:18):
listeners of ours that haven't put off surgery and now
they can't even.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Move their arm?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Could have just done it?

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Like, my fear is my fear. They give me the
worst case scenario. So what's the worst case scenario if
I put this off. Worst case scenario is it does
a full tear off, and then I have to have
a faked shoulder or whatever it is, like that full replacement,
like a full replacement in my shoulder.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
That's even worse because then you have to get that redone.
You have to replace those once you start getting that.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
You don't what the doc told me though, he thought,
which is interesting because he's the one doc I went
and saw. As the NFL doc was the Lions, now
is the Bears doc. He told me that this is
the Deshaun Watson thing, So I got that in common
with him, which is probably the only thing I wanted. Sanson, No,
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (06:06):
I think you should take the temporary loss man for
the long term.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Lan I agree the surgery.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
You should enjoy all thirty summers you have ahead of you.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Have you told my husband that you're not going to
be able to golf. He is, so listen looking forward
to golfing. Do you know how depressed summer?

Speaker 7 (06:23):
Can?

Speaker 1 (06:24):
I tell you the most depressing thing when it was
when I got the phone call from uh uh Uh.
Doctor biccos Over at Michigan Orthopedic. He called me on
Saturday to tell me the MRI. I literally sat in
the car depressed, like I I sat there. I've not
been I I don't think I've been that depressed since
the day that my dad died.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Like weirdness, it sounds. Yeah. I was really depressed. It was.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
It was tough, and then I kind of slowly kind
of came out of it when I talked to some
other people that said, hey, there's other options. You know,
stem cells was one of the things that people were
talking about. But Jordan, what's up. It's Mojo in the morning.
What's going on? Give me some good news, Jordan? What
do you got for me besides take the loss? Like
these guys are.

Speaker 8 (07:02):
Telling me, Hey, Mojo, I'm here to pick you up. Man,
can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Okay, I got you. What's going on?

Speaker 8 (07:10):
Hey? So, I'm a physical therapist here at Corwell Health
and I know doctor Beatos pretty well. Him and I
are pretty pretty much buddies. So you know, with this
type of surgery, you should you should feel encouraged. I mean,
it depends on what you want to do. But I
feel like a lot of times people get better results
when they have therapy before and it just kind of

(07:31):
you know, makes the results even after surgery better.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Have you ever seen anybody not do surgery at all?

Speaker 7 (07:38):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (07:38):
Yeah, yeah, we we have patients. I have one right
now that's choosing not to do it. You know, I'm
about to go in and take care of them right now.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
But is it a chic or a bad choice?

Speaker 8 (07:47):
From what you do?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
What do you think?

Speaker 8 (07:49):
I think if you're someone who's retired and and doesn't
really want to do much and and just in general
you're doing some light yard work, I think it's fine.
But if you want a golf and you know you're young,
I think you want to be able to do the most.
And you know, you look at it like a suspension bridge.
If you have seventy five percent of that bridge gone,
do you really want to drive?

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
You know, it's good potential.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
You know what if I'm a bad golf it's all
about what if I'm like, I'm a twenty three handicap.

Speaker 8 (08:24):
Your right shoulder or your left shoulder.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
It's my left shoulder, okay, so.

Speaker 8 (08:28):
That's your dominant shoulder when you're golf, Assuming that you
go right handed.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah. No, I know Jordan too.

Speaker 8 (08:39):
I do golf therapy, and I think I think it's
important just in general. But like I said, you know,
you can kind of do a little bit of prehab,
as they say, and it goes a lot better. I mean,
if you're you're not in dire need and you really
want a golf I mean, like they said, you might
lose the motion, but if you if you work at
it hard enough, you'll you'll get it back.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
It's all relative, all right, Well, thank you for the
kind words, and appreciate you. Man, Thanks man, you appreciate it.
Somebody tell me what I want to hear.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's what What do you want to hear?

Speaker 3 (09:12):
I want to hear.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
I want to hear that the Lord's gonna come and
lay his hands on me and heal me.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
This might be a blessing.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Though you might got hit by a car and cue
and only wait to the golf course. You never know,
this could actually saved your life. Oh great, you're saying,
don't look at it a different but Chelsea would look
at that as she can collect insurance. What's going on, Chris, Hi, Chris, Oh.

Speaker 7 (09:35):
My god, I'm through? Yes, Oh, oh my god, Okay.
Three things.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (09:43):
Number one, first time forever listener. Yes, I love you
all like you are my family.

Speaker 8 (09:53):
We love you too.

Speaker 7 (09:57):
Okay. Second thing, my husband did this injury on his
shoulder last year and he said, I'm going to do
physical therapy. I'm just gonna wait. And he literally has
no range of motion and he's in his forties. And
I've been telling him, because I'm a nurse, you need

(10:18):
to listen to the doctors. You need to get this surgery.
Oh well, I think if I just do this or
if I just don't use it now his arm is
hanging down like a little chicken.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
Oh lord, you are too young.

Speaker 7 (10:36):
You are too young if you have that percentage of
a pair. I know a lot of people don't want
to do surgery because it's scary and you know it
will take you away. But if you wait till next summer,
you might not even be able to move your arm up.
You can't even move his arm up to waist length.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
You didn't want to get here.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
So what is he gonna get? What is he going
to do? Now?

Speaker 7 (11:01):
Well? You know, every day I say, are you going
to call the doctor? And he said, oh, I will
When when I don't you know when I'm not busy,
when I'm not on a meeting call.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
So I that's the problem too.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
That's the problem too, Chris. Is that is that you
you know, you got all this stuff? Well, what how
do I get away from this? You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (11:19):
I got to take care of it.

Speaker 8 (11:24):
You're gonna lose like a chicken.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
He raises. He can't even raise his ant higher.

Speaker 7 (11:31):
He can't, he can't. And I sit across the table
Parlam and I look at it and it is atrophying.
I'm not kidding you.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
That's what they told me about. They were talking to
me about that. Oh geez, that's not what I wanted
to hear. Kirsty, give me something. I want to hear.
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Hi?

Speaker 9 (11:48):
First time? Long time?

Speaker 3 (11:53):
What's going on?

Speaker 9 (11:55):
Mojo? Don't do it?

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Wait, okay, tell me. I'm not nown't interested?

Speaker 9 (11:59):
Why because I had shoulder problems since I was in
the fifth grade. And uh, I just located my shoulder
in the fifth grade. And I always had shoulder problems.
And I had dislocated it the last time and in
the freshman year and I had surgery and never been

(12:22):
the same, never been the same.

Speaker 7 (12:25):
In what way I have arthritis.

Speaker 9 (12:27):
I have arthritis now and I'm like thirty six.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, well, what also could it be from all the
injuries you've had on it?

Speaker 9 (12:36):
I don't know, Like and I have to go down,
like I have to get like my shoulder popped and
like get queer zone shots in it every like.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah, my problem, here's here.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Here's also here's also another problem that I have faced
and I and I would so I put my knee
off for many years, like when I was in high
school in playing football and wrestling, I didn't do my
knee for the longest time, and eventually I did have
to have a four year old knee replacement.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Like that's how bad it was because of the arthritis.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
So you saying that makes me even more interested in
possibly wanting to get it taken care of now, only
because I kept putting. You know, my dad was a doctor,
and my dad was like, your knees, okay, tape it
up like back in the you know, back in mind. Yeah, yeah,
but that but but but the arthritis was so bad.
Now I don't ever want to go back to that

(13:23):
pain of the arthritis. But I don't know. I haven't
made my decision up. I swear to you, I do
want to do the right thing for me. But I
also will tell you this that I'm not smarter than
these doctors.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
I know that for a fact.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
But I also feel like sometimes docs just want to
cut you open, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
They're like, eh, let's cut it, let's go, let's.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Get you know what I mean, Like they they get
they got to pay their they got to pay their
student loans. I know, I I just want to All
I want is you know, I've not had a drink
since that day. I literally I think I may never
drink again. I that is literally that day was the
worst moment ever hurt and I.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
And I've is it more embarrassment or is it because
of the pain That.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
No, no, the pain, The pain sucks, and that sucks.
It's the thought of what this injury is going to
make my next you know monthsp like, yeah, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Don't think about the next few months. But but you know,
also it was preventable.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
All I had to have is something to eat and
one less drink and I would have been fine. It's
kind of like people that get in you know, this
is honestly has made me think about everything, like people
who drink and get behind the wheel of a car,
like their life will never be the same after that,
you know what I mean. So I don't know. Hey,
I know it's not cancer. That that I'm blessed with that.

(14:47):
I know it's not cancer. And I know I got
my heart checked out the other day. They said my
heart's great. So that's that's good. And this is something
that's minor. There's people that have worst issues.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Going on in their lives right now. They can't pay
their bills.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
But I I just, uh, it's it's sucks. So it's
so cross. Bro, you don't got him into Mazie. This
is yours, all right. That's not what I wanted to hear.
I wish I was. I was gonna.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I was hoping somebody would go, I got the right
thing for you. You don't want to the magic wind.
We're gonna do this.
