Bad News Got Worse

Okay here is the lowdown. A week ago Nick and I played in that championship softball game I talked about in my last post. I played the entire game, Nick stopped playing about 15 minutes before the game ended. Why you ask? Ugh, there was this dumb guy who decided to be brave and slide into second which Nick was covering.I don't mind people getting into the game because duh, that's totally why we all play, but this guy didn't know how to control a slide.



It looked alot like this!



He slid right into Nick and landed on his foot while pushing on his leg. Nick heard a pop and I (playing second base) saw his face and knew something was wrong. It was all he could do to hobble off the field. He was in some serious pain.

After the game ended, which our team lost by the way, we headed straight to the InstaCare. The Dr told Nick he had a torn maniscus and that we would have to wait 2 and a half weeks before it would be good to go see a specialist. Well, Nick and I being the patient peeps that we are waied until Wednesday morning :) We drove over to the AF clinic in hopes of good news. We went to an orthopedic specialist named Dr. Weenig and after touching and moving around Nick's leg for about 60 seconds he told us it wasn't the meniscus. My first though was "How lucky are you Nick?!" By about the time it took my brain to think that thought Dr. Weenig said "Not the meniscus, but an ACL tear." Gosh dangit. Nick, you're not lucky at all.

The Dr. gave Nick a brace with all sorts of hardware along with an MRI order. We're going at 4:30 this afternoon to get that done. After that we'll know if this ACL is worthy of surgery or is going to be able to heal on it's own. I'm praying that it won't be anything too serious but it's looking like it knda is.

I'll be staring at this in about an hour

On a lighter note:

• I got an A on my math midterm and an A- for my anatomy midterm
• I find out if I got into the nursing program in 2 more weeks
• I got my scrubs in the mail that I ordered, and I love them.
• I got new glasses (picture coming soon)
• Nick and I have been married for 2 months and 9 days
• We went on a movie date and saw Jackass 3D. Holy funny.
