Bad news, people. Potential bad news.
Earlier last week I had been grappling and felt something pop in my shoulder. I thought it was just a bone thing, and I did some stretches that my coach had recommended. After 2 days it felt fine, until last night when I was working a drill with a partner and he put his weight on my shoulder. The pain was back. Today I went to see a doctor, requested by my car insurance to follow up after my car accident from March. So the guy took a brief look at me and asked me if I had any pain. I told him my shoulder hurt so he had me stretch it and move it while he examined it. He determined that I had a torn ligament and that I would need surgery. It took me by surprise because I didn’t imagine it was that serious.
Anyways, I’m gonna see my family doctor this week, and depending on what he says I’ll be looking into some kind of specialist. If it’s a torn ligament, I won’t be able to compete in NAGA. Major bummer. I’ll keep you posted.
“I told him my should hurt …”
Did you mean: Shoulder
Sorry, I know it’s enough that web browsers treat us like retards.
Not that I’m treating you like a reta—
So, I had a torn ligament once too, I had to wear a thing for 15 days, and walk on crutches.
That is a major bummer, cause that also means no training. right mister?
NAGA pleeaaase.
Did you mean: search engines.
yeah.
Thanks for the spelling fix.
I don’t know anything about torn ligaments, but 15 days doesn’t sound too bad. And you’re right about no training.
Now about the search engine thing… what are you talking about?
crap dave! i hope it’s nothing serious! I need that shoulder in top mosh condition for band marino!
I know, I know!
But its unlikely that Band Marino will start a mosh pit. It’s not exactly mosh music, but still good!
It’s not mosh music, but that won’t stop rey…
hope you’re in tip top shape soon
Quick update. My coach told me that it’s impossible to know if there’s a torn ligament without an MRI or an open wound. So there’s still hope that it’s not what the doctor said it was. I’ll be visiting MY doctor tomorrow to see about getting an MRI.
hope everything turns out ok, david. miss ya and love ya!
well hopefully your doc says everything is A-OK. Maybe that other doctor is just an idiot… here’s hoping!
google.
Thanks Kristel.
Sarah, I still have no idea what you’re referring to. When did I mention Google or a Search Engine?
::sigh::
sorry.
you didn´t.
I did.
but forget it,
totally not worth it.
How you doin?
Haha alrighty.
david!
nooooo, u are healed
lol…no really, you are. =0)
Dabeed!
I hope you’re feeling better!
I let out a nice s bomb when I read this blog…
It was the only decent thing to do in return for when you saw me break my clavical.
=) anyway, I hope you’re alright!
I’m praying for you.
so… what’s the update? the 411? the news? what did YOUR doctor say???
sorry but i think sarah(or saruh) shouldn’t have given up…it was genuinely funny. let’s suppose you go to google and search for ‘kentucky durbie’ at which point google will say… ‘did you mean: kentucky derby?’ that makes one feel a little retarded, no? and you put ‘should’ when you meant ‘shoulder’... prompting her little ‘google’-like correction. okay, i can sleep better now that that’s clear
Anne Marie. Thanks for asking about the shoulder. I’ll post an update this afternoon at home.
Now as far as the google thing is concerned… HUH
? Your attempt to revive and explain the search engine comment is only making me even more confused. You didn’t clarify anything.
Take a look again at the order of comments and figure it out properly this time. I would love to know what she meant. And I have a feeling its an inside joke that I’m just missing.
has any post of yours ever hit 20 comments? because it’s about to…
1. saruh: corrected you for spelling shoulder wrong, and then apologized for insulting your intelligence in the same way that search engines (like google) do.
2. saruh: corrected herself for mistakenly calling search engines ‘web browsers’. thereby thoroughly confusing anyone who didn’t get the first comment…
3. you: missed where these pesky search engines came into the equation
4. saruh: gave you a prime example, google
5. you: still missed it
6. i: thought it was funny, but it’s starting to feel like when i try to explain a funny joke after it’s told, thereby depleting its funniness… bleh.
looking forward to band marino! i could always explain this over dinner, though it doesn’t seem like it’s worth it anymore… lol
oooh! FINALLY. I get it. Web Browsers vs Search Engines.
I wish someone would have just pointed that out from the beginning.
Thanks for clarifying. Oh, and 20 comments! W00T W00T!
