Knee Dislocation and Surgery

On Monday the 24th of September, I had an accident during our track and field training session: at the end of my 400m race, my left knee collapsed and it seemed to me as though my kneecap had been dislocated from its socket. When we went to see the doctor that day, she said that I would not do sports again for at least 4 weeks, if not more.

After a pair of crutches was bought, consecutive visits to a physiotherapist, the MRI hospital and the knee doctor, it was decreed that I needed to have surgery. Nothing major, of course, but I will not be able to do sports for another 8 weeks minimum. My surgery happened this past wednesday (3rd of October).

This accident and its consequences has been extremely tough, as I now have to renounce all sports for this semester, and most likely next semester too. But this won't stop me from persevering in sports: physiotherapy and rehabilitation will now become my sport, and I will 'practice' hard until I am fully recovered.
