My New Sperry Top-Sider's!

You might have seen my new Sperry Top- Sider's in Monday's post about my OOTD or Outfit Of The Day. So got these at a local shoe store, but you can find them online here. Mine are Sahara Leather. 

I have already worn them to school twice and I love them so much, they are so comfortable! The funny thing about it is that I have seen a few upper classmen boys who have the boy version of these.

What is up with my Knee?

So if you read my post entitled Athletes... you have heard my health wows and how even though injured I kept playing. And if you haven't that post yet read it and come back and read this, or not and just guess. 

That brings me to something else. Two weeks ago I was going to tennis, it was a normal day, and I was tying my shoes when I felt a lump on the front of my right knee. I can move it around and it is about the size of a marble, and it is right under my kneecap. When I asked my Moma what it would be she said it is most likely a cyst, but she said that she would make an appointment with my primary care doctor.

The thing is, is that if I go to the doctor and they want to remove the cyst right then and there I wouldn’t be able to play tennis for a while meaning I have to give up my rank as #4 and I have worked hard to get where I am in tennis.

This past weekend I went to my grandmother house, and I asked her to use her wise wisdom from having both of her knees replaced, and she said the same thing that my Moma did. She also said that when she got her knee replaced they found a cyst in her knee and removed it.

So this is what I think I am going to do. Go see the doctor and see what they have to say, but not have it removed until at least November when tennis season is over and done with. Because I don’t want to be bleeding all over the court!

I don't know what will happen, but all I can do is hope for the best outcome and know that I have my guardian Angels up there watching after me. Thank you for reading, and remember you health is the most important thing, well sometimes.

Athletes...

Being an athlete, you are willing to put your body through hell to get better and be the best. Being an athlete you can break, sprain, and God knows what else you can do to your self. Only athletes who are willing to go through hell to get better are the athletes who truly loves the sport.

Last October when I sprained my ankle playing tennis and had to go to the emergency room and was on crutches and had to wear a boot for two weeks, the only thing that I was concerned about laying in the emergency room was “what if I can’t play tennis?” That was the only thing I was thinking, well that and some not-so-lady-like words. What it hurt!

Me in the ER. :( 

Me in a walking boot. Very stylish! 

Me in my brace. That I have been wear for almost a year. 

Since last October, I have sprained my left ankle another two times, and my right ankle twice, but all minor sprains haven been back to the ER since, so that is a good thing, right?

I know that injuries will always be likely in sports. And for tennis players, ankle and knee injuries are the most common injuries we receive. But some times we don’t realize what we have done to our selves. I know I did. The second I was cleared by the doctor to play tennis again I was on that court acting like nothing had ever happen. Looking back I don’t think I could have rushed into playing again so fast because I ended up hurting myself even more and I still have problems with my ankle, and I will probably always have issues with it.

Thank you for reading, and remember you don’t always have to look the best or play the best when you are injured.
