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.

Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion


I never did follow up on the last post. This animation shows the surgery I wound up having about 6 weeks ago. Everything went smoothly and I have been undergoing a lot of physical therapy since then. I spent 17 days in the hospital and was very calm through the whole thing. I thank my family and friends for seeing me through this. I can safely say that I have no triathlons planned for this season. My training now is dedicated toward PT. learning to walk is my big goal.
