Follow-up procedure for Caroline

[RoyDodger]

Minor surgery is still surgery. I presume it was arthroscopic which still goes through muscle, albeit in a relatively small area. Usually requires some level of rehab. I'll be surprised but happy if Caroline is ready in only 10 days.

Depends, Roy, I have known ball players who played as little as 2-3 days after a scope procedure. It all depends on the nature and the size of the thing being removed. Given they said 7 to ten days and the ease of movement she showed at First Night I would not be surprised that she could well be ready in 10 days. Gotta trust the doctor and PT assessment.

I should hope so, Icebear !!! This is a case where the spirit is willing but the body has its own mind !!! Rooting and praying for CD !!!!

The scariest thing is going to be watching Caroline play. Every time she jumps up and lands on the floor, we're going to wince a little. At least I know I will.

I understand DD's point. CD's positive attitude shoud be our focus.

DD emphasizes Caroline's positive attitude which is fantastic. That's the thing that makes Caroline Doty so special. But he goes on to say that he's more concerned about those who post their concerns. What in the world is wrong with being concerned about a great oft-injured player? You think Caroline reads this stuff and let's it affect her?

He's just givng a poke to some. Nothing serious, just a little poke. IMO.
