Okay so I went to the doctor last Friday because I woke up and I couldn't put any pressure on my ankle with out it throbbing. My orthopedic surgeon said that I severely sprained my ankle and that I tore a ligament in it. I am out for 2 TO 3 WEEKS!!! I can't play soccer, basketball or volleyball!!! I think I'm going to die. Sports are my life and I don't know what to do without them!! I am sooo used to having a jam packed schedule and going straight from 2 hours of basketball to 2 hours of soccer. Now I feel like a boring couch potato!! One upside is that I have much more time to hang out with friends. I used to NEVER be able to hang out with them because I had basketball everyday after school and soccer on the weekends. The only time I could hang out with them was some Fridays and Saturdays. Now my schedule is wide open and it's kind of a relief to not have to worry about getting my homework done. I went with my team to the away game today and I was cheering them on as always.....but from the bench. Watching my team played made me miss playing basketball sooooo much!!! All I wanted to do was rip off my boot and get in the game but I couldn't. I just want to contribute to my team and help us not lose. My coach told us that we shouldn't play to win, but play so that our team wouldn't have to lose. Which I completely understand but some people might not. I do want to stay in tip-top shape. I do not want to come out of this injury any weaker than I was before. So I'm doing some exercises like lifting weights and crunches just to Even though I am depressed that I can't play, I will still be on the sidelines cheering on my team until the end!! GO LIONS!!! <3
