11 weeks

well im at 11 weeks recovery... im still going to therapy, which i actually really enjoy and look forward to!

im going to go see Dr. Cooley on the 19th and i'm going to get my sports brace- even though i cant play sports!! haha! but i will use it when im teaching gymnastics and things like that.

so basketball season is starting, yay? well all my friends made the basketball team. so i hope i will be able to be the manager, but if the games are on tuesdays i wont be able to. because i teach gymnastics from 5-6. but im okay with it if i dont get to be the manager becuause it will just be another thing i get to watch, but can't do, and that is probably be one of the worst parst of this whole thing!

2 months down... 4 more to go!

lately, iv'e been going to PT and working out Mon Wed and Fri. I really like going because i get to feel like im actually getting tired! ugh!! at PT on Friday i found out that i won't be able to run till Jan. 1 instead of Dec. 1!! :(

Im way excited because on Saturday im taking 5 of my friends to So You Think You Can Dance on Tour!

my bruise is STILL there... im at officailly 8 weeks today!

Hmmm.... nothin to do!

so, when i went to see Dr. Cooley, he said everything was good....

well im basically really bored now... nothing to do!

i think im going to be the basketball manager, so that will be fun!

on tuesday im going to start working at gymnastics! that will get me some $$$!

i can ride my bike and swim, so i do that a couple of times a week!

o! and my bruise on the back of my leg is STILL there, but now it looks like a normal bruise! but it's been 6 1/2 weeks!!

PROGRESS!!! yay!

so tomorrow i go to Dr. Cooley in Park City...

@ 4-8 weeks, you're supposed to be able to bend your knee at about 135 degrees...

BUT right now im at about 5 weeks and i got 140!!! so im pretty happy!

i hope tomorrow the Dr. will tell me that i can take my brace off! that would be nice!!

Therapy Progress!!!

so last week I went to physical therapy and didnt do too well... i could bend my knee to about 120 degrees all three days... never to much improvment. BUT today when i went i had a different therapyst and i got 130! that's huge!!! Dr. Cooley likes to push being at 135 at 6 weeks. im at 4 now... so as long as i can get 5 more degrees in 2 weeks ill be good!!

o, and i also passed my driving test, so i now have my permit... fun fun!

Birthday

so yesterday i had my birthday party! it was pretty fun! i had about 5 friends come over. we had sishkabobs, chocolate fondue, and cake and ice cream. we mostly just played cards, and watched Bedtime Stories. Im getting an iPod touch for my birthday from my parents, but i wont get it for a while because it has to ship it here... but overall, my birthday was really good!!!!

pictures

k, so my left leg and left foot are suffering from serious peeling. it's quite disgusting! almost all my skin on them is coming off!!! it looks terrible! but the pictures don't show it very well. so the picture where it's all bruised is the back part of my leg where you bend it. Then i have a pic of my stitches and incisions

Physical Therapy

So... today i went and saw Dr. Young. He gave me some new pain killers, because the other ones were making me nauseated and have headaches.

Then I went to school, that was okay... not as bad as I thought it would be. Except random people would point at me, and some dumb kid I don't even know told me that I was faking.

Then I went to Physical Therapy. yay. It... hurt, I guess. But Mark (my therapist) said that I did really really well for my first day! and since then, I've been able to kinda walk! so that's good! I have go to physical therapy 3 times a week, so that will be... fun?

I'll put some pics of my knee on here soon! some of them will be quite gross.

ACL update

so i got back home from surgery today at 4 o clock. everything went well. im pretty drowsy. but okay! i probably wont go back to school till wednesday. mostly cuz i have to have my knee fully extended till i go see the Dr. and i dont see till wed. and i cnat go to school with a straight leg, how will i sit in class? plus im not sure if i will have to still have my wrap and parce on. my leg is like 4-6 inches in diameter! ill have to wear some shorts to school. ugh! im gonna look so dumb!

ACL

okay, so it ended up that im getting surgery TOMORROW!!!!!!!! and my ACL was torn in HALF! but i can still run on it and everyting! crazy! well im kinda nervous- but not too bad. im really surprised that they scheduled me so soon! but really happy because the sooner they do surgery the sooner i can play sports!

ACL Tear-age!

so on the final day of tryouts (08-05-09)- we were scrimmaging to finish up the day. I'm not really sure what happened, but a girl and i collided. My knee rotated and popped! at first i tried to get up- but i couldn't, so i just lied there for a second. the coach came over and carried me off the field.

but, i made the team :D.

i went and got an MRI a couple of days later (a WHOLE other story). It took about a week for the results to come in. so during that week i pretty much practiced with the team- but i couldn't do sprints.

when i finally went to see Dr. Young, he told me i tore my ACL. which is basically the worst thing an athlete can tear.

when i found out, i told my coach what it was. now they can't let my play or practice because if i get hurt- they would be held liable.

so since then, i've still gone to all the practices and games- but just watched. it's driving me insane!!!

but Dr. Young reffered me to a specialist in Park City named Dr. Cooley. He's all famous because he did surgery on Tiger Woods. but i go see him on Monday- the 31st!!

i'll probably have to have surgery. but i really just want to get it done ASAP. when i do have it- i wont be able to play sports for 6-8 MONTHS!!!! i dont know how im going to survive!!

but there is a small chance that i wont have to have surgery- just a brace! :D

so i'll post some more after Monday- to tell u what the Dr. said!

grandma and grandpa!

so my grandma and grandpa are coming home this week and im so excited! they've been on a mission to Indiana for the past year, but im really excited for them to come home! my aunt Michelle is coming today too!

General Conference

so, the YM/YW in our ward went to General Conference, it was pretty fun, except none of my friends went, so i just mostly just hung out with tyler... but i did see Konner and Daisy there, what a coincidence!

Talent Show

so, yesterday i did the talent show with five other people. it didnt work out very well because we only had about seven feet to tumble, which gave me enough room to do about three skills, but i was the "finalle" with my full twist!

so yeterday me and my friends were playing soccer in the big gym, and my friend, Taylor kicked the soccer ball way up and shattered the actual light bulb. so then we went into the little gym. Moses (the coolest soccerball in the world)got stuck above the vents a couple of weeks ago, so we tried to get it down by kicking Caity's ball up, it got stuck too, we were laughing so hard. then we tried to get it down by kicking my soccer ball up and knocking it down, BUT IT GOT STUCK TOO! we were laughing so so so hard!!!! then some guys with a basketball came to help us, the almost got it down, but then hit it again and got it even more stuck! it was halarious!!! so now im going down town to get a new soccer ball!

Luging!!!!!

k, so yesterday was our bball team's party and we had it at Julie (the seventh grade coach)'s house. we played some game but the funnest thing we did was go down the luge! it was in a U shape, and there was one part where you almost fell off every time! they do this every year, but we havent gone on it for a while (she's our used-to-be neighbor and we dont go over very much anymore((they do it different every year))) so THEN we got in the hot tub... then we went down in our swimsuits!!!!!!!!! it was SO fun!!!!!!!!!!
