Hey all,

So here's my knee story: I went to a team basketball camp this past summer in the 1st week of June. I made it through the 1st game great, shot well, wasn't even that tired so my coach only had me sit out about 2 minutes of the game. My team won that game and watched the next game trying to see our competition (we played that team right after their game) It's a little ironic b/c I actually made the comment to some of my friends about this one girl. She had this big ACL brace on and even though she was doing well, I made the statement "I don't think I'd play basketball if I had to play in something like that." Was that jinxing myself or what? Well, about 3 minutes into our next game, I went after a loose ball, got it, and when I went to pivot around and take it to the our end, "pop" and there went my knee. Completely tore my ACL and later found out I had tore some of the meniscus. Well, that basically made the rest of my summer suck. I had to miss my last summer softball season and the other basketball camps my team went to. I had ACL recon w/ patellar tendon and meniscus removal on June 27th. Now, it looks like I'm going to miss half of my senior basketball season. My OS is very conservative and said he would most likely make me wait until at least the 1st of December before he would release me to play. Not what I had planned on at all, but oh well. This just makes me wanna work harder so that I can prove that I'm strong enough to return much earlier. Anyways, now that I've rambled on, good luck to everyone w/ surgery, rehab, or anything else.
