The Wrecked Shoulder

OK, here's the situation.

Ty’s shoulder has been getting worse and worse for about 4 weeks now. You may remember that he dislocated it pretty severely playing football in high school. They had been tracting for about 6 hours straight most days (carrying a heavy backpack) along with going to appointments everyday. Sleeping was becoming difficult because it hurt pretty badly. So he finally mentioned it to Sister Joyce. She arranged for him to have it checked out by an orthopedist. He moved the shoulder around every which way and then pushed on it. Without fail, Ty says, there was a loud POP. He said the doctor would smile and say "that was nice." So they ordered an MRI. That MRI was done and then the doctor went out of town for a week.

He is now back and has had a chance to read the films and he says that they are not clear enough to read properly so he wants to do a new MRI.
Tyler’s attitude is great and he is doing his best under the circumstances. The President moved him from his hiking/biking area to an area with a car so that he would not have to lug the backpack around so much. He loves his new area and companion, Elder Arnegard from Sweden. He is in the Harrisville/Coldville Stakes area.

Aside from loving his missionary work and his comp, Ty is particularly grateful that the Jazz lost so he doesn’t have to listen to all the Utah Jazz fans bragging!!!I will try to include some of his more spiritual stories and update his investigator info soon. Just know that he is doing well and appreciates all the support he gets from family and friends.
