Clare
got the results of her MRI from last week and found out she has a torn right
labrum. Ouch. The question is, when did it happen?
She
thinks sophomore year high school, when we had a doctor look at her shoulder;
no mention of a tear, just a prescription of six weeks of physical
therapy. So, if that was a misdiagnosis,
it means my daughter played seven years of high school and college softball
with the tear. “Thank God it didn’t affect
my hitting,” the patient said last night.
Only
I think it happened in eighth grade, when her first travel team put her at
shortstop; Clare was in the habit of rushing her throws. I also seem to remember an endless line of
first basemen with sore hands and broken gloves (or not). Either way, I don’t want to hear about millionaire
athletes playing in pain. I know an
amateur who could put them all to shame.
