Too Young…
I had my sports’ physical today. Ugh. I hate clinics, the wait is treacherous and the doctors make you feel uncomfortable.
Like always, the doctor commented on my shoulders. Ever since my freshman year, they have had an issue with grinding. When it’s quiet, you can even hear the friction and popping. I can feel it, but it doesn’t hurt, it’s just a pressure kind of feeling. During swimming, they can hurt, but not to a high enough degree to hinder me. Still, the doc suggested I see a physical therapist and start taking a supplement to ‘oil my joints’. He said right now it wasn’t too bad, but it could lead to a rotary cuff. I’m not exactly sure what that is – I need to search it. When I told C., he agreed with the doctor. I am frustrated by the whole thing - aren’t I too young to have joint issues? I guess not
If it doesn’t snow terribly, C. is driving up tomorrow. We are going swimming and possibly ice skating. All ending with a well-deserved cuddle and a movie. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, it will be yet another week away from him. Everything just keeps getting pushed back further and further. Next weekend, he has to come; its my twin nieces’ birthday and they will have a fit if he doesn’t show.
Sorry, I’m rambling >.<
I almost don’t want to see C…he has his high-and-tight, now. I love his fuzzy head when his hair is so short, but seeing him like this reminds me how little time we have left before he starts training. Three months, one day. I’m going to spend a lot of time with his family, I think, when he’s gone. His mom doesn’t seem to understand that I’m not her daughter, and that’s fine with me. I think being with them might help us both out.
I love my marine…but isn’t he too young to fight?
Oh well, right? Just have to grow up and press on.

One of my friends is going in to the Marines. I don’t know how he’s going to be able to handle it.
@Auxesis - It definately takes a certain kind of person. I know I could never do it. I hope your friend pulls through.

Not at all too young, it can happen anytime. I had to go to physical therapy when I was 13 for my knees. Good luck!
not the dreaded sports physical. how do they give the teenage mutant ninja turtles physicals? I always wondered.
@LetheOfHeaven - -laughs- I have no idea! But, you sign up for a time, wait an hour after the appointed time before you see a nurse, fill out the same paperwork three times (once for school, once for their records, once for the state), and then get the most awkward doctor >.<
@Madre_Pequena - Thank you!!!!!
I’m sorry you had this issue too, its no fun
