Tomorrow at this time my 15 year old will be at the hospital prepping for knee surgery. It was originally to be June 5th, but a conflict got us moved to (thankfully) earlier. As a freshman she was the starting point guard on her high school JV team, and she loses her summer season, so she's a bit stressed about her prospects for making varsity next year. I keep telling her that she played all last season in pain, so missing summer ball will be ok because she'll have 2-3 months to sharpen her skills prior to her sophomore season.
Pretty minor as far as knee surgeries go (best case scenario she's 100% in 6 weeks, worst case 3 months), but please send some positive thoughts her way for a successful surgery, quick recovery, good rehab, and a pain free sophomore season (and maybe a spot on the varsity team, too).
