Tyrannosaurus Okuda has shoulder surgery

Bad news for Sendai Girls. As you are aware, Tyrannosaurus Okuda missed the last Sendai Girls show due to what was described as cervical vertebra sprain. It appears that Okuda was recovering from that but was still having pain in her neck and shoulder. Sendai Girls announced today that Okuda is having surgery on a torn rotator cuff in her shoulder. It's likely this injury occurred before the sprained back and it's probably a good idea to repair it if she's going to be out for a while anyway. So the card for the Aug. 24 Zepp Sendai show will feature the debut of Yukari Ishino vs Chikayo Nagashima, Hiren vs Aja Kong, Ryo Mizunami vs Manami Toyota, DASH Chisako vs Carlos Amano and Sendai Sachiko vs Sonoko Kato. Meanwhile, fans want to know when Meiko Satomura will return. Well, when I saw a picture of her last month she was still wearing an eye patch so I don't know but I don't expect her back anytime soon. Her injury is very tricky and I seem to recall that she would need several surgeries to repair the damage to her face. Satomura doesn't help by responding "Soon" each time she's asked about it. I don't think she knows yet. I hope both of them return completely healthy.
