Another year, another base
UGH. With mad dislike, I must relay to you the news that my acro base, out with an injury these last few weeks, finally got his MRI done and he has a labral tear (probably a SLAP tear). Even if he gets surgery he's very likely to be out for 12 months. Which means I don't have a dedicated base for dynamic class anymore... and I didn't even give this last one a special blog name. :_(
Me last August: The next one's got even more to learn than Panther, and maybe I'll just waste my energy training up someone else who'll leave me before the work can pay off...
Yup, almost called it. The one thing I got with him that was new is the cast-up to foot-to-hand, which is gone now: a flyer alone can't do a damn thing.
I'm not 100% sure, but I currently suspect that I won't continue with this class; at least not next session. I'm too discouraged at continuing to cover the same ground over and over with different new partners, and I'm not putting in the time I want to on my second handstand coach's press drills. Maybe I can solve/avoid both of these problems at once by ditching LCS on Monday nights, and dedicating them to solo handstand work.

He doesn't know yet -- the person he saw was an orthopedic surgeon, so of course that person recommended surgery, and he was too surprised/distressed to get a lot of the technical detail that would have helped, like where the tear is and how big it is, etc. I only suspect it's a SLAP tear from what that doctor wanted to do, which is reattach his bicep elsewhere.
He does have both a dad and a sister who are doctors, and will be getting more opinions from them, but certainly he's out for the moment. (I think it's extra distress to him because the pain was fading, and he hoped he was getting all better.)

It might help that he specializes in "sports medicine" - so he might often see people who are otherwise very fit and are very sensitive to minor physical issues that other people might not even notice. Just a conjecture.
Actually, now that I think about it, I also went to a different orthopedic surgeon a very long time ago about RSI. He didn't even send me to PT, just gave me the correct diagnosis and the right exercises for it (I had already been through some ineffective PT).
