<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

My girlfriend will undergo a surgery tomorrow to repair her torn labrum flap, a stabilizing cartilage in the shoulder. The tear is a result of her intense training and competition in national level gymnastics, which landed her a scholarship estimated just under 400,000 dollars.

Up until a MRI a month ago, she dealt with excruciating pain for close to 9 months and her shoulder was left unchecked. She is very strong-willed, always refusing pain medication and insisting she was fine and didn't need a doctor. She continued to train and compete, often taking first despite her injury. 

However, after the MRI results came back, severe damage was revealed, to the point where surgery was absolutely required and was booked that day for the earliest available spot.

In the past couple weeks, things haven't suffered between us despite the added stress, but I feel as the date drew closer reality began to hit her. The recruitment coach postponed the official signing date until late november. 

Upon further study, doctors found the possibility for additional surgery to tighten the "ball" of her shoulder, but doctors won't know until they actually go in.

Her estimated recovery therapy is one month, but if tightening is required she'll need an addition 9 months to recover, thus making her a poor investment for a college, and thus the end of her dream she's spent her lifetime up to this point making.

How in the hell can I even begin to console her? The only serious injuries I've received are 4 "severe concussions"(by WIAA standards), a broken elbow and a dislocated/compound broken shoulder, none of which required surgery or had anything besides my body on the line.
<bot>: Girlfriend tore labrum, requires surgery. $400,000 scholarship in jeopardy. Recruitment postponed signing date. MRI showed further complications, possibly career ending. Don't know how to begin to console her.
