I am only a 14 year old male and i am pretty messed up. I tore my acl in half, my lateral meniscus in three places, my mcl, and i had a bone fracture. All this happened in football. I was supposed to do real good this year. My first year of high school and all. I was supposed to make the varsity team as a freshman. Do real good in b ball, and track. That was until this happened. It was only the first day of hitting practice. I caght the ball on a bubble screen and as i was juking outwards i got hit on the knee. No all my life i was able to bounce around. Not this time. I remember my knee going knumb. And a very sharp pain on the back of it. I couldnt put any pressure on it or it would collapse. Igot up and hopped off the feild. Beilieve it or not the trainer told me it was alright and that i should keep playing. I just said whatever even though i wanted to cry from the pain. So i played two weeks of two a days and two varsity scrimmages with it. It gave out countless times that i actually got used to the pain. I tried to hide it from my dad but he caught me limping. He sent me to the docter who told me how stupid i was. He did an mri and found what was wrong. I would need two operations. One to repair the acl and one to repair the meniscus. I am still waiting upon acl surgerie wich i can get when im done growing. I got the meniscus operation. I ended up tearing it in three places. The docter could only repair two, one he had to shave out. Now i only have about 75% of my meniscus left. I just hope ill be able to play sports as well as i used to. I heard from some people that you lose speed and agility.ill prove them wrong...
