“Hey guys, what’s up? I hope you’re enjoying the fall and the holidays approaching really quickly I just wanted to give you a quick update.
I had a little procedure on my shoulder, had an old injury that I needed to get tended to and obviously the offseason is the much better time to do that than my last surgery.
