My knee was bugging me for a while and finally went into a specialist and he gave me a cortisone shot. After the shot, he told me to lay off of it for a couple of weeks and then hit the gym running, doing everything that I had done before seeing him. The outcome was a torn meniscus and so I had to get it scoped. I set the surgery date for March 17.
Before having surgery I wanted to head out to Denver and hang with my sisters for a weekend once again. This time Cajsa flew down. We decided to make it a fun filled day starting with racquetball early Saturday morning. It was Shara, Cajsa and I that went because Nezhone had brought her kids this trip. We were on our last game and I was serving. Cajsa returned the serve and I happened to turn around, mind you none of us were wearing eye protection. I caught the ball right in my eye from her racquet. As soon as I was hit, I took my contact out and my whole right side of my face started to swell. That pretty much ended the fun-filled day.
After multiple visits to eye specialists, including an optometrist that morning, I continue to see flashes of light in my peripheral vision.
Moral of the story: NEVER turn around when playing racquetball especially with a very competitive sister. Just kidding...wear eye protection!!!!
