Thanks everone! Alot.

First I think I worded it wrong the first time, when I said I was making this decision on my own. My parents are helping me, they just want it to be something that I am Ok with. Usually I have alot of my own different opinions and don't want any help with decisions even when its offered... But I am getting better at listening to other peoples opinions!


I spent the weekend at a swimmeet and talked to my mom alot and my coaches and got some great advice (THANKS wahine) and i think this is what I want and hopefully its right.. We are going to go back to my doctor and talk to him about it too and see what he thinks.

Try a different physical therapist or maybe even a different type of therapy before going the surgery way.. Make it a last resort, we thought this was all but have been looking and there are alot of different kinds of therapy I guess.

If it needs surgery I'd rather wait till after march 12 which is the last day of our 3-state championship meet. Hopefully I can pull of some decent swims even without a completely functioning arm and win a few. AND MAYBE the therapy will work and I will have full range of motion or atleast closer

Anyways I hope this doesn't mess anything up but I really dont want to lose this whole season and I want to try everything before something huge like surgery cause those recoverys are LONG too. Anyways THANKS again! KT
