1. This is not the first time it happened. I tore my right acl in February 5, 2006. It took me around 9 months to start playing football again.
2. I tore it during a leisurely Sunday pick-up game with friends. Not in some high level competitive game.
3. I tore it trying to get the ball back from another ACL friend who happens to be my ex boyfriend. What is karma.
4. My half-marathon plans are now postponed until after I recover.
5. I can’t run after my nephew, dance in my bathroom, swim, go to the beach, jump on my bed.
6. I can’t play football again. I was trying out for the women’s national team again but now that’s out.
7. It’s the hottest summer ever, and wearing an immobiliser is like having a stiff whole leg warmer. Not fun.
8. I will spend the first week after surgery in pain.
9. My dad is telling me to stop playing football for food.
10. The chances of me gaining weight and getting fat just increased dramatically. Hello Diet.
