More about Camylle's knee.

I found out my knee injury was my ACL ligament detaching at both ends and is now a shriveled mess of fiber in the center of my knee.

Sick, huh?

So the doc recommends therapy for a few months, then surgery, then recovery and more therapy for 9 months!!! That's about a year of no sports. No soccer for the High School team. No track this year!!! My next sport would have to be track or softball (depending on which one I pick) for our High School team.
I will be on crutches for 2 months after surgery!!! I can't play any contact sports. (That includes dodgeball.) I thankfully can do crunches and push-ups, but no running. I can't even run laps to stay in shape. I'm really mad and I need to vent here because if I don't, I'm gonna get really angry and throw something at the wall. After surgery, though, it's NO running, no walking without crutches, for 2 months!!!

I hope I don't turn into a wrinkly old lady with knee problems who has her grandkids fetch her the newspaper for her

Camylle's Injuries.

On our away game to Coupeville, I was dribbling and then my knee unexpectedly buckled. Don't ask me why, don't ask me how, but it did. I had two nasty swollen bumps on the back of my left knee and one on the front. So I went to the doctor and she recomended me to a specialist who had an MRI done on my knee. It turns out I tore a ligament, so my doctor said that I shouldnt play any sports until it heals. My knee feels fine until I move it into any bent positon less than 80 degrees. Basketball requires a lot of knee strenght, so I had to quit. I'm pretty angry. So what if I didn't make Varsity because I did pretty good for my first year ever of basketball. I can at least pride myself that I was the fastest girl on the team, including the Varsity girls. Most of the girls on my team have played 3 years of bball, so you have to hand it to me. I didn't do too bad. I think it takes a year of a sport to make it "click" and once it "clicks" I'd have it down.
But the main reson i did basketball was to stay in shape for track season. I just hope my knee heals by then.
