Never Completed A Football Season 2

7th grade- First season of school football. I missed the playoffs of my seventh grade year because I broke my ankle in a basketball game. That wouldnt have been so bad except I fractured the growth plate in my ankle so not only did I have a cast 6 months but they told me there was a good chance that that leg would be shorter than my other one.

8th grade- Easliy the most dangerous of my injuries. After getting three concussions in four months earlier in the year, I got my fourth and worste concussion during football practice. I was knocked unconscious, taken away in an ambulance, told by the doctors that there might be some permanet brain damge, developed a stutter, forced to go to school the next day even though I couldnt speak in complete sentences, taken away from the school in an ambulance for the second time in two days, and spent the next year over coming all the learning problems that come with getting hit in the head that much.

9th grade- The most unique injuries. I missed the begining of the season because I got biten on the foot by a brown recluse spider (which are poisonus), that just happened to be carrying the staff virus. I had to keep my foot above my heart until the staff infection got to the point that the doctors could remove it. Later in the season I got hit in the knee and ruptured my burstisack. I didnt keep me from playing football but it was insanely annoying. I basically had a bag of fluid on the side of my knee that sloshed as I walked. The worst part was that every week before our games I had to go to the team doctor to get it drained, which they do by sticking a huge needle into the sack and applying pressure until the sack is comlpetely deflated. And they did this for weeks.

10th grade- Best X-rays ever. I only got hurt once that year, but thanks to the doctors it lasted the entire season. I some how got a spiraling fracture all the way down one of the bones in my hand completely separating it . After many weeks in a cast the doctors took it off to see how it was healing, and thats when they told me that it had healed wrong and they were going to have to re-break it and start all over. I had already missed a bunch of games so I said "No, Ill just play football and hope someone else breaks it." So I did and now I can't close my hand completely.

11th grade- I didn't actually get injured this year but I got some kind of crazy virus that kept me in the hospital for a couple of days and caused me to miss a couple games. In the off season i got a bone spur in my shoulder but that wasnt a big deal.

12th grade- The most painful year of my life. In the summer work outs I dislocated a rib from my sterum which is easily the most painful thing I have ever done. I couldnt do anything that made me breath heavily or I would pass out from the pain. Later that year I did the second most painful thing I have ever done. I had strained my hamstring in practice, but the trainers said I would be fine to play in the game as long as they continually stretched me. The coaches finally pulled me out of the game in the fourth quarter, at which point I could no longer walk. After an MRI the doctors told me that I must have torn it and kept playing on it becuase they didnt understand how I had done so much damage to it. Ironically that injury caused me to miss almost my entire senior year, which combined with my reputation as being injury prone, ruiened my chances of gettin any scholarships
