As the parent of a pitcher that had TJS,
One of my kids had TJS also.

I am sorry to hear that your kid had this injury. I guess I just find it odd that you would have such a flippant response to this procedure. Having gone through it, you obviously know the statistics. While TJS is quite common and thankfully predictable, we never hear about the 10+% of guys that never recover. Like I said earlier, there are a lot worse medical issues a person can face, that does not minimize the procedure. From my perspective, ANY medical procedure is a big deal when its you (or your child) going under the knife. Maybe not so much from the outside looking in. Just my perspective. We can agree to disagree.
