Knee Stress

Well, I am a little bummed out today. Basketball tryouts start today and Ty can't tryout yet. But, I just talked to coach Rob and he said that they would deal with it and he just needs to come to tryouts anyway and not do anything for now. I am waiting for Dr. Shamo's office to call and let us know when they have Ty scheduled with an orthopedic surgeon. The sooner we get this done the sooner Ty can get back to basketball. Ty had an MRI done on Saturday and when they called and read it to me they did not speak English so, Dr. Shamo called last night to see if we understood what was going on. As I understand it, Ty has a torn medial meniscus, a deep bruise on the femur and a contusion(bruise) fracture on the tibia which means that the bone was indented in. The tibia will take the time to heal and hopefully we can get the meniscus repaired soon and get on with the healing there too. I told Dr. Shamo's nurse that we could leave right now if they would take us in but she just laughed at me. I hate waiting. I am so thankful that it was not an ACL or something that would take him out for the year.
