It's in the identical spot as last year. I assume it's scar tissue or something.

Once I opened my mind to the concept of a greater power, I never struggled with it. Everywhere I went, I felt and saw the existence of a creative intelligence in this universe, of a loving power larger than myself in nature, in people, everywhere.

scar tissue that i wish you saw sarcastic Mr. Know-it-all

Scar tissue has no character. It's not like skin. It doesn't show age or illness or pallor or tan. It has no pores, no hair, no wrinkles. It's like a slip cover. It shields and disguises what's beneath. That's why we grow it; we have something to hide.

With scar tissue, you don't know how it's going to heal or what's going to happen with it. Dr. Yocum told me, 'Once December comes, you might throw two balls and know you've got no chance. Or you might go out and throw for three weeks and it won't bother you.' But it's not something where it's 100 percent yes, you're going to be there, or 100 percent no.

It's nothing serious, just some scar tissue. It's not something that's going to stop me from being the same me, but Coach is just taking the precaution. It's getting better every day, so I'm just going to continue to get rehab - another week or so, I should be back to myself.
