HATS

If you haven't gotten a white/red hat then you will need to get one pretty soon.  They are $20.  I know money is tight right now, and it is close to Christmas, so if you need to wait and buy one after we get back from the break that is fine.  If money is an issue then come talk to me and we'll work something out. We start up with after school practices toward the end of January and have our first scrimmage the first Monday in February so you will need one by then.  BLACK hats are for VARSITY players only.  the only exception that will be made will be for players that might be moved up early in the season because we will be without a few players because of basketball.

Surgery Update

Well, I made it through surgery and I am in room 303 at Jack and Jane Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital.  My rib is gone and I am in a great deal of pain but I have some good pain medication to help me tolerate it.

White Hats Are In

Our new white hats are in and they are $20.  They are pretty much the same as last year.  We switched brands and went with Proline since they are a big sponsor of Texas High School Baseball. They are wool hats and the LH are thicker than last years so it does look just a little bit different.

I am still waiting on the black hats and they should be in soon.  The black hats are for Varsity players only and will be $20 as well.

Also, I will be out of school all of next week.  I am having surgery Monday morning for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and it will require me to spend at least 1 night in the hospital.  Usually people don't go back to work after this surgery for about 2-3 weeks but I'm going to try to be out only one week if I can tolerate the pain.

If you are wondering what Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is then here it is in a nutshell:  The nerves and veins that travel down my arm to my hands and fingers are getting pinched just under my collar bone causing me to lose feeling in my hand and inner arm.  In order to create more room for the nerves and veins the doctor is going to have to remove my first rib and detatch part of my scalene muscle.
