As quickly as a slip and fall . . . Krissy and I were pitching on Monday and she slipped. That doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. Not that big of a deal, right?? I heard her clete slip, but what I saw next was scary . . . She went straight down, left knee first, onto the infield. Immediately she rolled into a ball and felt great pain. And, to make a long story short, she is now on crutches and in physical therapy with a hyperextesion and a dislocation of the top of her kneecap.
And, she went to weight training yesterday . . . And she wants to go skiing . . . And she thinks she might be able to pitch next week. And she wants to get off the crutches asap . . . THEY HURT!
She is 17 and still believes she is invincible. I wish she were . . . But, I am an old man that had several injuries playing sports. I know she has to do what the doctor says and get well first. Funny how history repeats itself (and high school athletes are hard-headed).
