The doctor tells me my results. Three injuries in one. I would need surgery. Tears welled in my eyes. I could no longer play the sports I loved. Was this the end? My ACL decided athletics had taken it's toll, and my menisci was right along with it. The bruised bone was a bonus though. Was this the end? Could I emotionally handle the recovery? The recovery of heartbreak from simple test results The recovery from physical damage The recovery of surgery that joined my main muscles back together again The recovery of a new muscle, foreign to me Will I ever be fully recovered?

Emotional Recovery
The doctor tells me my results. Three injuries in one. I would need surgery. Tears welled in my eyes. I could no longer play the sports I loved. Was this the end? My ACL decided athletics had taken it's toll, and my menisci was right along with it. The bruised bone was a bonus though. Was this the end? Could I emotionally handle the recovery? The recovery of heartbreak from simple test results The recovery from physical damage The recovery of surgery that joined my main muscles back together again The recovery of a new muscle, foreign to me Will I ever be fully recovered?
The simple test results that can crush dreams.
