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!
