Ouch!

So Wed. night in practice Micah was diving for a fumble and landed on his shoulder and it kind of just stuck in the turf. I did not realize at the time that he had hurt it. At the end of practice he told me it was bothering him and what had happened but he kept practicing so I thought it was nothing more than a bruise. Knock on wood Micah has not been hurt to often. It bothered him a bit that night and I told him to see how it felt in the morning, well in the morning it still hurt but he got up and went to school and I kind of forgot about it until he texted me and said it hurt and did not feel right. So I took him in and got it looked at and he had strained some muscle around the rotator cuff. They said it was the most rare muscle to strain on the rotator cuff. Anyways the good news is it was not the rotator cuff and that it would heal on it's own with a little help from some daily Aleve for 10 days. Micah was bummed because they told him NO contact for 2-3 days because it is really weak and if he got hit or fell on it wrong he could make it worse, which means he had to watch all the contact drills at practice. He tried to tell me it felt fine and he could hit but I reminded him that he could make it worse and maybe miss the game. So he did the smart thing and just watched. But he should be o.k. to play Sat. This Sat. we play Copper Hills who we barely beat last year by a touchdown.
