Early last season my DD tore her right hip labrum. She got through the season with a Cortizone shot and a lot of PT, but this year the pain was not getting better, so the decision was made in December for my DD to have surgery. Surgery went just as expected, and DD will be on crutches for 4-6 weeks with a lot of PT in her future. She will redshirt this season and still have 3 years of eligibility left.

That's a shame. Can't believe how tough she was fighting through that last year. Has to be killing her to be out and not be able to build on successful first season.

While I realize this is early and with the demands of collegiate sports, is her goal to graduate in four years? I assume she will be a red-shirt sophomore and junior academically.

Do you think she'll use her 4th year of eligibility?

Too far out and too soon, I'm sure. Really sorry to hear about the injury/recovery.

Sorry to hear the news. I have lots of respect for how she fought through last year and look forward to seeing her suit up next season. My DD really looks up to Kat and the pitching staff. Maybe we'll run into her at a game.

I'm sure you carefully analyzed the situation and decided this was the best route forward for Kat and her long-term health. I wish her a speedy and complete recovery, and an efficient return to top form in the circle.

Go, Kat. Go!

Both horrible news but good news to hear she's done the surgery and will recuperate. I look forward to hearing and seeing her future success when she returns.
