Three more weeks required to rest & rehab elbow
Hey Everyone. Wanted to drop a quick note to bring you up to speed.
Due to doctor's orders, I am being forced to withdraw from the Byron Nelson Championship, the B of A Colonial and the FedEx Classic. If all goes well, I will hit the road again the week of May 29th for The Memorial.
The last thing I personally want is more down time, but as soon as we posted on the blog last week that I was planning on playing the Byron Nelson - the phone calls started coming in. My doctor. My long-time friends. My family. My agent. Tour buds Jason Gore and Brent Geiberger. Even some of you fans were writing in to MySpace and emailing the site.
Everyone made sure to drive the point home - that I NEED to rest the elbow at least another three weeks. I'm heeding the advice.
I spoke too soon after the Cortisone shot. I felt better the next day, but soon thereafter I realized that I am not ready to go. The pain temporarily went away, but it's back now.
Getting cabin fever here in Scottsdale, so heading home-home to San Diego next week. Want to get some down time with some old buds, hang in my old hometown and get to see mom for Mother's Day next Sunday.
I'm feeling like Milton in Office Space, when Bill Lumburgh stuck him down in Storage B to take care of the cockroach problem.
Seriously, a lot of alone time and down time the past three weeks away from the Tour. Amazing how you actually get used to being on the road 30+ weeks a year. I walked off the course on Thursday March 14th at the Verizon. Four weeks ago this coming Thursday and I'm off at least another three weeks.
When it's all said and done, seven weeks sitting at home and not competing. That's not my style. I need to get back out there as soon as possible, so hopefully the rest, rehab, relaxtion and some time in San Diego to get my mind off things will be just what the doctor ordered.
More next week from SD. -- Double P
