Injured List - Charlene told me it best today when she told me to supervise each room. That summed up my whole day, how do I be in multiple places at the same time? I kept thinkin bout it, if I could clone myself for the day, then everyone can be happy. Here is how my clones would of sort out today:
K1 - VBS Supervisor
K2 - Games Leader
K3 - Accountability with Leaders
K4 - Clean up Field Day leftovers
K5 - Took home Lily and Lulu since parents forgot bout them :(
K6 - Take MooCows, Talk2Me, and AznGirl to Great Lakes
K7 - Go to Champs
K8 - Move ACA stuff to I-Tute
K9 - Met up with T-onda for counselor packet
K10 - Kept my invite to a friend
K11- PalaceVision

For those that know, yup I completed maybe half of my clone list. It's hard because it has been a lil physically draining, driving all over the place. Now my mileage count after 4 days of VBS is at 610 miles. The toughest part is going on 1 bad knee, I am starting to notice it gettin weaker each day. I could barely go around the whole mall today without stoppin for a break. I made too many promises for the day and let some peeps down, which I'm still sorry for. It's hard when no one knows how much your tryin to do despite physical limitations so I get the misunderstand/mispercieved feelin but story of my life. Oh well, it's my fault for makin promises that I can't keep.

So with the bad knee going on, I saw the specialist this past Monday. He was nice and optimistic about everything, and gave me my choices. The best choice is, that I will get surgery on it the next day I come back from HK. I tried to change it as a friend brought up good points of not to have it on July 5th, but I could not.

Why so early after HK? Well he said it takes 4-6 weeks if all goes well with rehab/therapy to come back from it. The timing is perfect because the KUMC tournament is in 4 weeks after surgery. So you can bet I'm shooting to be at full strength in 3 weeks with 1 week to get my timing back. I'll be on crutches for the first few days which should be fun.

The support? I went to Dumars last night to cheer on my v-ball team. It was the first time back, and I got a lot of love, and support from the fans who come see us. My teammates were supportive as well, knowin that I'll be ready for the next season. I've been gettin some phone calls too, from others wishin me a speedy recovery.

Mad? My parents were of course mad to find out that I chose surgery. They want me to retire from playin afterwards. So with that, I decided it was best not to tell them bout the KUMC tournament and how I plan on playin by then. My mommy wanted to go with me to my surgery, but since it is on Tuesday it's a no. And since I could not change the date to Wednesday, it looks like I'm gonna be going solo to surgery. What else would be new? Dr. Plagens already is gonna put me in a faster/harder rehab/therapy as I asked for so I can return to the court quicker.
