UPDATE ON LIFE - Torn ACL

Look at the centre of this knee....I tore that.

 

 

 

Hi everyone~!

 

I recently got injured last thursday during a rugby match with my team. Unfortunately, it was more serious than I thought.

 

Tearing your ACL is one of the worst things that can happen on the feild...this means I'm done for the season, heading to the surgery room, and walkin on crutches for a while...NOT FUN.

 

 

I've gotta say that the support that I'm having is incredible though. You can really see what's infront of you, people that care for you ensuring that you're okay, knowing that they all have your back.... that's the best feeling. Knowing you are not alone.

 

I'm a pretty tough cookie, but saying this doesn't make you weak. It makes you STRONGER!

 

Now I can wake up the next morning, not worrying about going through my day without one leg...but going through it with people that are ensuring your strength, confidence, and responsiblities aren't beaten down.

 

I'd like to thank those people who have helped me through it. You know who you are...

 

But as for rugby, .... IT IS MY PASSION. IT IS MY SPORT. and I WILL NOT LET THIS STOP ME FROM PLAYING NEXT YEAR.

 

My coach is the most amazing person, and I love her so much. She's so dedicated to the team that she'll treat you like family. She's helping with my therapy, and keeping my confidence at its highest.... and yes.SHE PROMOTED ME TO ASSISTANT COACH!!! OH YEAAAAA!!!! :D

 

But honestly.....things happen for a reason. And this....this is making me look forward to ripping up the feild next year. Most of all, it cleared my mind-- I realize how much love and support I have......friends and family. I'm not alone...

 

Thank you <3 I could not go through this without you...

 

 

Here's a clip of what it looks like when you tear your ACL...
