Hi all, I just wanted to give you an update on Carter's injury. On Friday, Carter had an Orthopedic Surgeon take a look at his wrists and after having Carter do a series of movements, he had him go through an MRI later that day at Kings County Hospital which happily came up negative meaning no breaks in the bones or tears in the muscles and tendons in his wrists. At this point, Carter was advised to treat it as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and told to ice it every 15-20 min to help reduce swelling. He was also told to splint his wrists when he plays which could explain the tape around his wrists. I just thought I'd fill you in on what I've learned about the injury and by the looks of it, Carter will be fine and the tour will go on as scheduled. See you at Darien Lake and take care
