Hockey Injury Update

The news was mostly good. My spine is healing, any nerve damage seems to be temporary and on the mend. Yay!

As for my shoulder, I did indeed have a rotator cuff tear. It seems to be healing, and the doc thinks that PT will help it along, and bring back the strength and range of motion in that arm. He referred me to the sports medicine guy that specializes in shoulders who actually called me today. I have an appointment to see him on Tuesday to discuss whether he thinks surgery is necessary. I think it's merely a formality at this point. My shoulder has been getting progressively better, and I see no reason why it wouldn't continue to do so. I'm assuming he'll just concur that PT is a good idea at this point and no more medical intervention is needed.

The great news I received is that the doc has cleared me to start playing hockey again. WOO HOO!! Did I say that loud enough?? Let me try again. WOO HOO!!!!

The bad news? My hopes of a pitching career in MLB have been dashed. That totally sucks.

See ya all on the ice soon. :D
