Football

We are 2 weeks into practice and about a week and a half before the first game and we have our first injury....a knee injury of all things. I let him suffer for almost a week before he had to beg me to take him to the doctor. Well, maybe this is for real, okay kid let's go. When a doctor says hmmm as they are examining the patient, it's never good. And there was a lot of hmmming coming out of her mouth as she moved Tanner's leg around. Well.....she says it might be a small tear of his meniscus, you'd probably have to get an MRI. and then I'm hyperventilating. As they call in the trauma team to deal with me...she says okay let's just take it easy and see what else we can do. That's better. So take a week off of football, the MRI truck is here on Monday if it still hurts. Okay. Also, you could see Physical Therapy and see what they think. This is good. What does PT say? Let him play, if it's torn it's not going to heal on its own anyway so he might as well play. It could just be a tweaked medial collateral ligament. Do some stretches and see if it's better in 2 weeks. So this is what a sports moms life is all about, you don't need a mini van, you need an M.D.! Gotcha. Pray for healing and wisdom......and sanity. :)
