last year I was in the hospital for a week because I was lucky enough to get mononucleosis, causing my spleen to almost rupture due to enlargement, plus a cyst rupturing and having some sort of infection in my kidney. whabam four months of awesomeness.
this year I started early with my gallbladder malfunctioning and getting it removed. I had awesome issues all through january and february. One day at work, playing soccer, I got aggressive with a guy who in turn pushed back and my left knee snapped. One month of rehab and I am back up to 75% speed with no problem running. Running forward that is. saturday I was given the okay to play soccer again, with my doctor playing on my team. I tried running backwards to turn to get the ball from someone, and just fell over. The guy was slightly confused to what happened. Today I went to a great orthopedic surgeon and he looked at my knee and tried to find the "snap" and didn't feel one, therefore, my anterior cruciate ligament - ACL - is torn.
april 2, 2012 I will get it surgically fixed, and I am putting my soccer cleats in storage.

Swollen and taped knee.

Knee injuries suck. I've had tendonitis in both knees for over a year now. 'Hope you can run backwards soon!
