My dd has a very bad posterior labrum tear and that is why her shoulder is dislocating. She will have same day surgery next Wednesday. She is bummed that she won't be able to drive for six weeks afterward since she is only getting her learner's on Aug.15th. She will learn for a few days, then stop for six weeks, then start again. It will be six months before she can do karate. She is bummed.

She's bummed in the short run, but in the long run she should be much better off. But how long six months seems when you're a teen...

That is a bummer!! But, in the long run she will be happy!

Yes, dh has explained to her that she could not do karate for six months and then have everything all right or never be able to do lots of things like push-ups (she wants to maybe join the military or law enforcement so needs to be able to do those) or archery.

I will be praying that all goes well!

Yes, as she's in recovery and wanting to do something she shouldn't yet, remind her of what you said up there! It's better to have this for 6 months than to have permanent problems!
