Argh crap! For the assignment it said we can write about anything, so I’m going to write what’s on my mind right now. So me and my buddies love rugby, we play as much as we can and play every Saturday down at Wyview (a few of us played in High School together.) Well I roomed with 2 of these guys last semester; they’re big twins that I love to death. Last year in April one of these twins tore his ACL in a rugby game, and that has majorly affected his life in the last year. He’s still recovering so he hasn’t been able to play with us yet. Well, last week we were playing like we normally do, when the other twin got tackled or something and wasn’t able to get up, we had to pull him off the field (rugby doesn’t stop). After awhile he could get up and limp, and he thought that he had just hyperextended the knee.
Well, it’s been almost a week so I totally forgot about it. Honestly this week I’ve been focused on getting my mission papers ready, I am just so excited! These two twins have their calls; David the one that got hurt a year ago is going to North Carolina, and Mark, the one who hurt his knee last week, is going to Tampa, Florida; both of them leave May 2. Well, Mark just texted me and he said that that the Dr. said he might’ve torn his ACL… this is no bueno, could completely affect his mission! As I was freaking out I get another text from him and he said that the Dr. just confirmed it… he tore his ACL. He’ll get surgery next Friday, and hopefully his mission plans won’t be altered.
Man I’m just scared for him right now. I love Mark so much, and we’re all excited to go on our missions, I just can’t believe that something like this would be thrown into the situation. I’m texting him right now and he’s in good spirits, he always his. He’s just so “take-it-easy”. I’m trying to remain calm, but I’m worried for him.
Corbin, your blog is looking great! I hope your injured friend heals quickly and I'm excited for you to be getting your mission papers in. I'm deeply impressed that you know how to use a crock pot. Are you really going to leave us hanging about your ice skating career? Really unfair.
ReplyDeleteHey Corbin! hope your buddy heals soon! that's crazy that both twins tore their ACLs the same way. Just keep him in your prayers. That's the best you can do!
ReplyDeleteAlright bro see ya in class tomorrow!
Man, that's rough. I love to watch Rugby, but it's pretty intense. You can really mess your body up for life. But some guys have to do something to make it by in life, and I guess for some of them, it's Rugby.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, hey, buddy, you haven't sent me your contact info for my paper. You might want it soon D8.
