Ugh, my son tore his ACL during football camp on June 27th. Had surgery July 29th. So no college visits, nothing, all summer. Most importantly to him, he’s out his senior year of football. It’s really devastating for him and I’m so sad for him. So sad. At least it’s not his head(bad concussion), or life changing, etc. but still. Sucks.
We’ve been so busy with ACL stuff..dr visits, prehabbing at PT prior to surgery and now PT 3 days a week, and I have to drive him everywhere since it’s his right leg.
He missed his senior pictures, bc he was scheduled for the day after surgery(rescheduled for end of September)..he was asked to be in the picture they take of a handful of seniors that they hang in the front entrance to the school, and couldn’t bc they took that 2 days after surgery..it’s been a fun summer.
All that said, football camp starts Monday-he’s still on the team, and is still going to everything-I’m hoping it makes it better, but am a little worried it will be worse bc he’ll be watching all his friends and be unable to play..but we’ll see. His Coach has been great and is asking that Matt come to every practice. Which he planned on anyway. So praying he’s happy.
We go on vacation in a couple of weeks, hes staying home for camp. His choice. Our first family vacation where he’s not coming. I hate it! My brother and sister in law will be around to take him to PT and stuff, so I’m not worried about that, but I’ll miss his grumpy self. Lol. We have my daughter, her boyfriend, and her college roommate coming. So still kids around, at least.
Still hasn’t decided where he’s applying to, is busy doing all his summer work for his AP classes, and generally driving me crazy about not being able to work out or drive.
School doesn’t start until 9/5 here..which happens to be his 18th birthday, and I am NOT ready for it at all.
