NO SURGERY!
Joseph went and saw the ortho doc yesterday. The diagnosis is that he has a partial AC shoulder separation. What this means is that he has tearing in the ligaments that hold the collar bone to you shoulder. Had it been a full tear, Joseph would have been heading for the operating room.
The doctor says that he needs to be careful because until it heals, it is very fragile. Another fall could tear it completely. Good news is it should be better in 2-4 weeks.
The BEST news is that Joseph doesn't have to have surgery. He had 6 surgeries between August of 2005 and August of 2006. His body doesn't need any more and either do my nerves!
