Cameron/Beltran

[Guest Rotblatt]

Jesus. I think this is a terrible idea. He's going to wear a mask or something, apparently. Hopefully it won't impede his vision . . .

He pretty much won't be able to slide head-first, right? Or dive for balls?

Does this seem as retarded to everyone else as it does to me? I mean, Christ, Beltran, get the surgery, go on the DL for ten days. You've got six years to impress us, and this ISN'T the year we need you to be tough and gut it out.

He hasn't played much of a role in what success we've had to date, and it's allegedly because he hasn't been healty. So get healthy, Carlos, then come back.

Retarded.

I agree with Rotblatt 1000%. I'd rather see Beltran sit the rest of the year out then do this.

[soupcan]

Man I have such a good non-pc joke that I could tell here.

In the meantime though I agree - stupid decision. Sit it out Carlos.

I'd be cool to see Beltran in one of these

I was trying to explain to my husband what the surgery was and what the advantages of not doing it over doing it were or doing it over not doing it were, and I realized I didn't know.

So, what are the advantages one way or the other? If he doesn't do it, does it heal anyway? If he does do it does it heal better?

From what I understand, the surgery is intended to move the pieces of his face back into place quicker. But I guess they figure it will do that on its own quick enough.

[Frayed Knot]

Apparently it would be mostly a cosmetic procedure.
I guess it just needs to be protected while teh break is still "fresh".

Maybe he can have the surgery, and while he's in there, they can get rid of the thing on the side of his head.

Yep, I've been sitting here waiting for that one...

Come on, you can tell it.

The Zygomatic bone comprises the lateral wall and the temporal aspect of the orbital floor that supports the eye in the socket. Fractures of the inferior rim and floor of the orbit can cause severe visual problems in some cases. If the fracture is small, such that no muscle entrapment resulting in a restriction of ocular motilities or an inferior displacement of the eye occurs then it is generally best to allow such breaks to heal naturally. However, if a large break of the inferior orbit (blow out fracture) does occur, then surgical implantation of a teflon plate in the inferior orbit is generally necessitated.

A physical evaluation of ocular motilities and structural integrity of the orbit combined with X-rays/CT scan of the bony orbit surrounding the eye can easily determine whether surgical intervention is neccessary.

If Carlos is scheduled to return to the line up, then his fracture must be rather small and not causing any potential problems with his ocular capabilities. I still think he should take some time off, until the the fracture has had sufficient time to hea,l in order to reduce the risk of further damage to the bones .

Yahoo, of all places, reporting that he is opting to pass on surgery.

I was just about to say exactly that!

Very early in the broadcast, they announced that Lord Jeffie has authorized
a plane to bring Cammie and his family home. He's been released from the
hospital.

[Guest cooby]

Beltran still looked a little puffy but it was good to see him playing again

[Guest cooby]

How did my picture of Alex Trevino turn into someone else?

I can't do anything right

C-Wolf has the same address for all his images. He changes images, all references to that address change.
