So yes, definitely surgery. And that's about as much information as I got from today's MRI/Doctor's appointment. Ok, well, I did get diagnoses. I have an ALPSA* lesion and a Hill-Sachs lesion. Essentially, I have stretched out the joint capsule, torn some cartilage, and flattened out the head of my humerus bone.

Or, in layman's terms:

Randy: If you were a horse, they'd put you down. (Here, TRgirl helpfully interjected that they would have already done that.)

Bud: You done effed** up your shoulder.

I have to go see the surgeon next week. Hopefully then I'll know actual things such as when, how much time I'll need off work, what the recovery period will be (internet says six months. I am hoping that the internet is wrong.), if I'll have to do this again in another 15 years, etc.

In other news, the day started out with the following question: "Why did we go to summer camp?"

*You know, your general anterior labral periosteal sleeve avulsion.
