Hey kids!

Your limping girl, checking in. Doing better, limping less, crutches going back into the basement closet – hopefully to stay. Getting through my rehab has really been eye-opening. I have a new, real respect for the countless female (and male) professional and college athletes who endured this with their careers on the line. Can’t even imagine. I just want to get back to being normal and whacking tennis balls when I feel like it. The doubt that fosters in your mind about if your knee is strong, or what does that twinge mean must be a huge hurdle to overcome if you are looking to resume an athletic career. So props to the ACL brigade, especially Purdue’s Robbie Hummel, who blew out the same knee twice – in one year. Robbie, makes me nearly cry just thinking about it. Hang in there dude, and Boiler up! in rehab.
