MY LEG PART 2 (AFTER MY MRI's)

I got the MRI results on my leg today. Here's my laundry list:
1-Unfused growth place at the level of capital femoral epiphysis
2-Trace amount of hip effusion
3-Partially detached non-displaced avulsion fracture of the left ischial tuberosity with diffuse marrow edema involving the pubic ramus
4-Significant soft tissue edema and swelling within the adjacent musculature
5-Grade-1 muscle strain of the accuctor magnus muscle
6-Moderate tendinosis of the hamstring tendons at the level of attachment to the left ischial tuberosity with adjacent reactice soft tissue edema (Grade-1 strain of the hamstring tendons)
7-(6-7cm) area of prominent bone marrow edema within the distal metadiaphysis of the femus which may represent bone contusion and/or stress-related marrow edema
8-Non-specific join effusion (Small knee effusion)
9-Small nonspecific lymph node in the popliteal region

The doctor said he's never seen someone so messed up in one leg. I can't believe this, I've never been this frustrated in a long time, I just want to run again.

Crisis

This sunday night, I was having some problems with my mom so I decided it would be better if I spent some time at my dad's house. I had my mom drop me off two hours early at work. I fell asleep in the break room until it was time for my shift. After sleeping and colorfully decorating several golf balls, I started my shift, finished up, caught a ride home with my dad's girlfriend. She drove me to my dad's house where I would spend the night alone and I could relax and clear my mind. I realized later that I left my schoolbooks at my moms so I ride my bike almost 8 miles to her house, sneak in, stuff as much stuff as I can in a bookbag, and go out to the garage to get my bike. She catches me and won't let me leave. I leave anyways, walking a few miles before I have my stepmom pick me up. I'm cooking myself dinner when my phone rings. It's my mom and we fall into this huge, long conversation and it was not a good one. After she hangs up, I get another call from a number I don't recognize (it's the police). Apparently, my mom reported me as a missing runaway (after I told her I was fine and I was at my dad's with a ride to school the next day). I had to call my dad's girlfriend over to make it look like she was watching me. While I packed for her house, my dad's girlfriend ended up booking the officer's daughters for 3 separate parties at my dad's spa (hahahahaha). I slept at her house, went into school late because she couldn't take me until after her kids. That was my sunday night and monday morning.

My Leg

Since December, my leg has really been bothering me. One day at work, after seeing me drag my left leg around like a tranquilized duck, a customer (completely out of nowhere) diagnoses me with a pinched sciattica. Not being the ignorant child that most people think I am, I knew how to pronounce the word (hahaha). The sciattica is a nerve that runs down both sides of your back down to your toes. If pinched or inflamed, the most miniscule physical action results in severe physical pain (tell me about it). So I go to work fine, come home with a pinched nerve and no worker's comp. Shweet.

At first, I was afraid to tell my couch. I did not want to be thought of as whining or as injury prone so until it was a serious detriment to my walking (there's no way in hell I can run on this thing), I kept to myself. Until I realized I couldn't even bend far enough to touch my shins. At this point, I nervously told my coach what I was feeling. His reaction was surprising because he seemed more worried than I was. He made numerous appointments for another teammate and I to head to the team chiropractor. For several weeks now, Damien Brown and I have been getting treated for injuries at Perfect Competition 2-3 times per week. This doctor had a different diagnosis than the woman from my job (he thinks I tore my hamstring off of my glute muscle..)As part of my treatment, I receive electrical stimulation on my leg (haha, that part is fun) and this frictional massage treatment on the same areas (haha, that part is not fun). I have been feeling 100%, totally, and completely...the same. I guess ice is my new best friend for now. I need to be healthy ASAP. This really isn't funny, my whole season could be ruined over something I hurt in 2008

Bumpin My Music

The music of this day and age is significantly more disappointing to me than I can bear. It seems like almost everyone has a record deal nowadays. I personally do not even listen to the radio anymore because it is irritating. In my opinion, once a song has been played around 10-20 times on a single station, it is time to put the record on the shelf. However, I find myself enduring the overplayed garbage of the music industry in order to listen to the morning talk shows on channels like Y100 (Elvis Duran), Hot105 (Tom Joyner), and 103.5 (Steve Harvey). The music I listen to is much more recent than that of the radio so if I hear one more Lady Gaga song on the radio, I'm done, I'm taking my ears apart piece by piece.

As a follow-up to this article, here is a list of what's playing on my ipod or on my stereo:
The Soundtrack of Me
1-"I Put On" by Young Jeezy feat. Kanye West (Almost a year old but still raw)
2-"Terminator X to the Edge of Panic" by Public Enemy (my new obsession, no homo of course, is Public Enemy and Kool Moe Dee)
3-"I Go to Work" by Kool Moe Dee (More Old School Rap)
4-"Ignition-Remix" by R. Kelly (just a song that puts me in a good mood, one of my favorites)
5-"Get Fresh" by Iceberg feat. Ransom (swagger)
6-"I'm the Sh*t" by Iceberg (possibly my favorite song)
7-"Gucci Bandanna" by Soulja Boy feat. Gucci Mane and Shawty Lo (raw song, kinda repetitive but I like it)
8-"Stick Drill" by Reggie Cash Flow feat. Piccalo (listen to this one)
9-"Animals" by Nickelback (I listen to this almost everytime I go lift weights or do any kind of workout. I try to listen to all kinds of music so don't make fun of me.)
10-"Stronger" by Kanye West (really old but still raw)
11-"Love Your Way" by Powderfinger (I told you I mix it up)
12-"Don't Wanna Come Down" by Trey Songz (One of my new favorites)

Cash Flow

Good Morning Vietnam. A major complaint of sports fans all over the world is that the athletes that the idolize make too fat of a paycheck. This argument is ignorant and biased. Even athletes that I hate make fair paychecks in my opinion (I am not a laymen such as the reader of this article. I even have numerical statistics to back my correct-ity up). When Babe Ruth was asked by a reporter if he deserved to make more than the President of the United States, he responded by asking, "Can Mr. President hit a baseball?" Professional athletes get paid what they get paid because they specialize in what they do. The pros in any sport is a collection of the very best athletes in their given position (if you were one of the very best at what you did, you would get a fat check, too). One (ignant) might argue that if one does not actually perform academic work, they do not deserve a paycheck. This argument is simply a grasp at acceptance by the mediocre. An athlete should be considered a role model for the youth and adults of the world, based on the mental and physical aspects of what they do* (Do soccer players count? American football players make less than basketball, baseball, soccer, and tennis players individually. Yet they are still singled out as making too much.) Education goes a long way in this particular instance. In a business where millions of dollars worth of admission are collected per sporting event, where would you suggest the money goes? I personally think that it is ignorant to have the money go to the rich, aristocratic, (caucasian) owners of the sports teams and clubs to which these players belong. If the players are the reason that these events draw such interest, they should split the money without giving any to the owners. However, it is in everyone's best interest if the owners, coaches, and other supporting staff get a fair paycheck. If you actually play a sport [or played a sport (on a team)], and you would like to share your opinion, please write it below. Thank you, thank you very much.
