On February 25th Kylie had shoulder surgery. Not so fun, it has been four days now and she still doesn't feel very well. The meds make her sick. Anyway two years ago she was snow boarding and started to fall, she caught herself with her arm and she heard a pop then she fell on her shoulder and felt it go back in. She had to be taken off the hill in a toboggan. When she got home we took her to the doc. He xrayed her and said nothing was broke. It had just popped out and then went back in. So that was that. It took her awhile but she recovered.
Then last year she tried out for JV softball team and made it, but it kept popping out and she was always in pain but she endured and had a good season and was looking forward to playing this year. In January she went to a camp in Logan Utah and hurt it pretty good. The team doc told her she needed to go to an orthopedic doctor to have it looked at. So we did. He thought it was just an instability problem. He did order an MRI just to be sure. Of course there was nothing there, just a big bill. He thought physical therapy would do the trick and she would be ready for try outs. We tried it for a week or so and all it did was make it worse. The therapist was to afraid to do anymore so we went back to the Dr. He suggested surgery to tighten the tendon that holds the ball in place. We hoped she could just endure the pain and try out this year then get it fixed in the summer. He didn't recommend that, he wanted to do it now so we did. After he got in he found a tear. He couldn't figure out why it didn't show up on the MRI. Oh well it is fixed and all is well except she wont be playing ball this year or this summer but by next year she will be great. Her coach is going to keep her on the team to help her out. Sorry this is so long. If anyone has ideas of getting her off the hard drugs so she can get feeling better let me know!
