I feel bad for me 4 years ago * turned into updates on my son's baseball

Surgery tentatively scheduled for his birthday 11/22

Surgery went perfectly and at 25% of the cost the first place tried to rope me into (I don't have insurance). The entire surgery cost less than 8K when the original quoting was at a cost of $30k.

The doctor and now his PT person have said that it couldn't have gone any better, and the recovery should be smooth.

1 week on crutches, 1 week walking with crutches, and then a slow build back up to action perhaps in a few weeks. The poorly timed part is that next Summer's tryouts are right after Xmas and he wont be ready for them. I let his school coach know and he said that he'd put him on the team he felt was appropriate. Oh well. As soon as he gets back at it I'm certain we'll get back into the lessons etc but I'm so glad his surgery went that well.

Shop around those services when you go without the insurance scam...

That's good to hear. And don't be surprised if he beats the recovery timetables they give. Kids (especially athletes) tend to have superhuman healing abilities us adults don't.

The road to recovery continues

The pitching lesson last week with the varsity coach said he was amazed… literally walked to my car blown away by Aiden

Today lesson was horrible lol, lots of mental breaks as the coach, imo, didn’t do a great job explaining things/adjustments and it was exasperating. One variable is I was watching today and typically I do not. Aiden wanted me to but I won’t next time for sure.

I’ve signed Aiden up for summer ball tryouts which are in two weeks and mentioned it to the coach and he said that he thinks he’s one of the coaches for the 2028’s. I said that I didn’t think Aiden would be able to hit yet (and even if he could he’d be so rusty) due to the stiff front leg in the ground and a twist motion on that femur yet and he said not to worry as he can put him on it as a PO that can hit. The school ball season will be a long try out really since it’s the same coach.

While I fear this is the beginning of a move towards being a PO with limited options it’s not my story to tell.
