A new challenge

In early 2010, 2 time Ironman and Cleveland area folk singer, Charlie Mosbrook suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury and underwent surgery to prevent further nerve damage. With current triathlon goals on hold due to neuropathy and impaired walking, Charlie works toward simple goals through physical therapy with the hopes of one day crossing another finish line.

Surgery

I know this blog has ended, but I thought I should add this. I am in the Cleveland Clinic dealing with an unknown compression to my c4-6 vertabrae. Best case is steroid treatments worst will be removal of a growth and chemotherapy. This should all start today as I am on a presurgery diet.
The problem is unrelated to my sports, but my fitness will help me to overcome this. I am far more nervous right now than I was when I entered the water at Ironman. I hope to post positive results soon.
Thanks Charlie
