Most likely I've torn the bicep loose at the elbow -- a distal bicep tear, just like the one I did to right arm some years ago. Because fixing this will involve surgery I've stopped taking aspirin and ibuprofen for pain and am using acetaminophen with mild codeine. I will see the hand/arm doctor Tuesday (Monday's a holiday) and I will get an MRI. I still hope to cruise the sunny shores of Norway from the 15th of March through the first week of April. Relaxing on the deck of the M/S Trollfjord, dancing under the stars until dawn...actually it's an educational trip to investigate the Aurora Borealis. I do hope I can go!
