Labral Tear

 After doing physical therapy for 5 weeks, Daya had a follow-up appointment with the doctor.

She has what the doctor thinks is a labral tear.
They don't heal.

It's very common with dancers and they just have to mange the pain.
Some days will be worse than others.
Daya is very young to have a chronic pain injury.

X-rays are normal, so immediately after Daya returns from Chicago, she will get her third MRI to confirm the diagnosis.

I saw this sign on the train home:

Why yes, Yes I do know!

MEDICAL COPAYS.

$864 in the last 5 weeks.

I returned home, logged into work, and Isis helped me get through the work day.
