So, when I resumed activity I instantly knew something was severly fucked up, so I went to an orthopedist and sure enough my shoulder was totally fucked. So I got surgery over the summer finally where I was given three cadaver tendons to replace the torn ligaments, a bone growth that was sticking out of my shoulder had to get sawed off, and they put screws connecting the gap in my clavicle bone so the calcium would allow it to fill itself back in. It was an intense surgery and I was out of comission for about 6 weeks of doing nothing but eating painkillers, smoking weed, watching horror flicks, and listening to records. I'm in physical therapy now and am really starting to get better. I went to the Boston Children's Hospital Sports Medicine clinic and was treated by Dr. Michael Bae who is one of the best in the field, so I was very lucky in that respect.
