A true Friday Check in 5/13/16

Prayers sent!

Thank you, JAD. I'm at the clinic right now getting ready to go in. I'll keep you updated.

I'll do that. I'm getting ready to go into the walk-in clinic now. The elbow right now is more sore than anything. It's the grabbing, gripping throwing and rotating the arm that makes it hurt more than anything. It's a shooting, spasming almost electrical like pain when I'm like gripping, holding or throwing shooting to the hand. If I rotate certain ways it shoots to the shoulder. The pain when it goes to the shoulder isn't quite as intense as it is to the hand. Right now I just have the elbow wrapped in an ace bandage. How I got injured was I was batting in the third inning of our semifinal game. I got plunked by a 2-1 pitch I estimate to have been thrown somewhere in mid 50 mph range that got me just below the elbow. I held my elbow as I was running down to first. I don't own an elbow gaurd...but I will now. It was my left elbow that got hurt and I'm a lefty.

That doesn't sound like tendinitis. My totally-uneducated guess...bruising and swelling putting pressure on a nerve. Fingers crossed that that's all it is.

We were knocked out of the district HS tourney last night so HS ball is done for DD this year. She batted .692 in the tourney and .469 for the season - a shame that she couldn't continue on to state. So we will have that rare opportunity to get some yard and housework done before her TB team starts next weekend.

DD's TB team has first practice Sunday. DD and two other freshman are still playing HS ball in regional tourney. We may go just to see everybody.

Kind of a laid back weekend for us. My boy has his first baseball game of the year tonight and a soccer game tomorrow afternoon. DD has a double header scheduled for Sunday afternoon.

DD had her last high school game last night and tonight it's prom... she's taking the weekend off and then starting her college workouts monday!

I just got out of the walk-in clinic so I figured I'd update you guys.

The doctor isn't 100% sure what is going on with my injured left elbow. The doctor said that he thinks that my elbow is just severely bruised on the inside and swollen that it's pressing up against nerves in there causing the pain I'm experiencing. But he didn't rule out that I possibly fractured my elbow either. So I'm being referred to a orthopedic specialist in Philadelphia who is supposed to be one of the best in her field. I go to see her on Wednesday. In the meantime, I'm told that I can play...but I can only play a limited amount of innings and that he doesn't want me batting. He also gave me a cortisone injection in my elbow saying that it should help bring down some of the swelling and dull pain to the point that I shouldn't feel it much.

Personally, I wasn't too enamored by the doctor I had at the clinic. I would have rather went to my regular doctor...but she had no openings to see me today. Plus the injury wasn't something I needed to go to the ER for anyway. We will have to wait until Wednesday and see what the orthopedist has to say.

Hmmm....that sounds familiar....

Heal fast, Gabby!

Thanks for the fast healing wishes. The cortisone shot is helping with pain. He thinks that I should wear a batter protection device on that arm when I'm at the plate as well as a brace. I'm waiting to see what the orthopedist says on Wednesday.
