9/22/11 Yay!

Okay, sooooo, time for the good news!

Like I said, I am 2 weeks out of surgery. The doc said it would be 4-6 month recovery time. I was not planning on playing anywhere until at least next 2012 fall season because, well, I didnt think I would be able to get a job! But lucky for me someone took a chance and signed me. I will be going to Puerto Rico for the 2012 season which is from late January to May-ish!

I so excited. I will be reporting sometime in December to get there and start working with the team trainers to make sure I am 100 percent when season starts. I will be playing for the Bayamon Vaqueras (the cowgirls! Yeehaw!) and its going to be great. Of course, if I am not healthy I wont play but I am going to work hard and really try to be ready.

Ill keep you guys posted on how my recovery goes.

Oh my goodness! 9/20/11

Well I guess I should start off by saying...sorryyyyyyyy. I totally started slacking on the blog posting. At some point life in Spain got to be pretty boring............ until we won the whole darn Spanish League Championship! BOOM! And I didn't blog about that either because it was all over my facebook and anyone of the 5 people that read this blog probably knew at that point.  

Anyways, just a quick little recap:   After Spain I came home and lived in Northern California area for most of the summer while taking some must needed vacations with friends to Vegas, Tahoe, SLO, SF, Almanor, and AZ.  I worked a few volleyball camps in there and of course enjoyed time with the boyfriend :) It was quite a lovely summer, but as always not long enough and the real world came to slap me in the face.

I knew at the end of season that something was seriously wrong with my shoulder. I got an MRI and the doc gave me the news; partially torn rotator cuff and partial SLAP tear. For all of you that would like to know what that is here is a wiki link because I really don't know what it is either. I do know it stands for "superior labral tear from anterior to posterior" something or other... (took that straight from wiki)

So, after I figured that out and knew I would need surgery I had to tell Menorca that I would not be coming back as I had hoped :( But being healthy is important so I planned my surgery and enjoyed the rest of my summer.

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago today. Let me tell you, it is the MOST frustrating thing. I couldn't do ANYTHING for myself and anyone that knows me will know that I have an extreme dislike for that nonsense.  So I was on meds, loopy, sore, stiff, blah, blah. Finally as of last night, not only can I now put my hair up in a pony tail by myself again, but I also was able to sleep for the first time with out medication! YAY ME! It is the little things that count I have realized more and more everyday.

I also made a decision to, instead of stay in California and find some kind of job to pay the pills, I would return to AZ once again and tackle a semester of school.  I can not decide if I am glad I did that yet or totally regretting it. Either way, a few classes down while I am here recovering and rehabbing is one step closer to that damn degree. "Baby steps" seems to be a common theme here.....hmm

I promise there is a reason that I decided to start this blog up again but maybe I will post a few pictures from this summer and wait a few days just to keep the suspense going ay?? Let me know whatcha think :)
