Turkeygirl Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Well my mom thought I should go to the chiropractor about my shoulder. She thinks he's really good, she and my sister go to him, mostly my sis from her car accident. Told my boss, he said the college wouldn't pay for it unless I got a referral from a physician. Well I'm changing insurances and the guy I was going to have for a Dr. I heard is not such a great Dr. My mom said we'll just pay for it. so went to the chiropractor. Pretty much the athletic trainer was right. He did some tests and such. I basically have a sprained shoulder with slight tear in the bicept tendon. The pop Weds. night was from the bicep tendon being out of the bicipital groove and I somehow got it back in, hencse the pop. So he put my shoulder back in the joint...guess it was a slight anterior subluxation. Ice for a few days...then heat...do some arm circle exercise stuff. I can't wait to tell the trainer she was right,lol. (she was my prof. for my athletic training minor...great person). Now I have my doubts about nursing because the more I think of it, nursing doesn't get into the muscle/joint stuff as much as like athletic training does and this is what I really love to learn about. I was talking with my mom about it...nursing might be a great job but will I be happy? I just seem to keep turning back to athletic training...all these delays stop me and keep me thinking about AT...so maybe God is tryign to lead me that way...money is just the conflict. I am going to look into a Bachelor's ata college 1.5 hours away, a state school that's like $5000 a year, not including room/board. Find some scholarships and do them and see if I can maybe make it by the skin of my teeth and get into an AT program. I want to be doing something by next fall..I just don't know what my problem is about making a decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
