So here is my dilema. For those of you who don't know, last January I really messed up my shoulder, by dislocating it three times in one week. This required me to get surgery over the summer. I had this surgery on August 3rd.

Monday I went to go see the doctor where I was told, your shoulder is strong, and I wish all of my patience had the same motivation as you to get better, but I am not going to clear you to play for another month. So here is my dilema, I really want to play basketball, badly. I was told that recovery from my surgery would be 4 to 6 months. I was also told that 4 months would be if everything went great, and six months was the worst case scenario. Right now I am at five months, and I have been told by the physical therapist that there is nothing more that they can do for me.

So I really want to play ball badly. So I am thinking about just going back to school and playing. The worst that I can forsee happening is that I get hurt again and can't play, which is not really any different from me just not playing at all anyways. This is my last opporotunity to play organized basketball, and I really didn't want it to end last year. I want it to end this year. Of course I also want to play basketball for the rest of my life. So I don't want to get hurt so badly that I can't play forever.

Quite the dilema. I think I am ready, but can't prove it. Thus it really stinks bad.
