Aaron has been having some trouble with his shoulder lately, so Tuesday he went to see an orthopedic surgeon (in hopes that he could just get a cortisone shot or something)
Unfortunately, we now think that it is more than just muscle pain, that there might be a slight tear in one of two tendons in his shoulder.
He has been told that he needs to go for a "special" MRI (where they inject dye into the area) and have physical therapy for the next month and then revisit the Dr. At that time, we hope to find out that he does not need surgery, but that is an option.
Luckily, we were not planning on touring this year and hadn't already purchased plane tickets (as the cheap ones we buy usually aren't refundable). However, it does mean that Aaron won't be able to compete at the Massanutten competition on June 18th. We will go to support our friends, but not to compete.
If surgery is what needs to happen, we'll probably wait until after our epic cross-country trip, so we can still enjoy our epic cross-country trip! We might just need to revise some plans.
