life these days

so life has been kinda crazy this weekend.

patrick went to have his dad work on his shoulder on...

friday i believe it was.

his dad told him that he should go see a doctor

to have it looked at.

this is pertinent to the story because patrick

and his dad are not fans of doctors.

not one bit.

they also both have a very high pain tolerance.

so to have him tell patrick to go to the doctor means that things must be pretty bad.

so yesterday (monday) he went to see his doctor

to see what he thinks.

he told him to go get some x-rays done and

referred him to a orthopedic surgeon.

so off he went to get x-rays done. and he set up

an appointment to see the surgeon on friday.

so i'll keep you updated on what the surgeon says when we know more.

now for some good news!

patrick had an interview last week at the corporate

offices of massage envy.

they said if they're interested, they will have one

of their store managers call him.

well, he got that call this morning!

he has an interview in the morning. :)

again..to be continued

now..i ask anyone who is reading this is do him a huge favor.

please keep patrick in your prayers.

1. he will most likely have to give a massage tomorrow,

and with his shoulder that is going to be hard.

but like i said - he has a very high pain tolerance.

 he is such a fighter.

he is very passionate about what he does that i know

he'll do great no matter what.

but help from the man upstairs definitely doesn't hurt.

2. all in all the situation about his shoulder

is a little nerve racking.

i asked him earlier today if he was nervous about

the thought of surgery.

he said that he's not so much nervous about the surgery its self

but more about the recovery process.

he doesn't like not being in control of his body, so having to be patient during recovery will be hard.

again- we aren't positive that he will actually have to have surgery, but he is pretty positive that he will.
