AuburnChick's Adventures

Yes, I’m a bit of a worrier.  I can’t help it.  I like to fix things, whether it is a computer or a child.

I called Soccer Chick’s physical therapist/trainer this morning and asked for her to be fit into his schedule.  He is an amazing guy…generous to a fault.  He always has room on his calendar for Soccer Chick.  I was a bit concerned as I called because his wife is due to deliver twins any day now.  Fortunately it wasn’t today.

After pulling and pushing on Chicky’s leg…basically torturing her…he came to the conclusion that she has a contusion.

Oh fright!

Naw…not really.  While the word sounds fearsome, it’s just a synonym for bruise.  Apparently her run-in with a thick-legged (her words, not mine) player last week primed her for the additional pain she incurred when she got cleated last night.

Before leaving the clinic, she had been iced, electrically shocked/stimulated (her leg, not her brain), wrapped, and drugged with Motrin.  The goal is to get the swelling down.  Ideally, she should rest it, but that’s not going to happen, so we’re going to do the best we can.

Please continue to pray for her.  She’s got some tough soccer ahead of her this weekend, and then her high school team has district playoffs next week.  Nary a break, I tell you.

Thanks.  🙂
