So
far this semester was going really good but two weeks before winter
break I was not allowed to do P.E anymore because I had hurt my knee. I
hurt my knee a long time ago when I used to play basketball and do
bhangra. Because of my knee I had to quit doing both. During grade eight
I had tried out for the Sullivan Heights basketball team and I made it, after that
season of basketball my knee had started to hurt again. But it only hurt
when I ran. So I had to limit my running. The beginning of get fit was
going really well but like I said, two weeks before winter break my
knees started to hurt. The only thing that was different
was the pain I was getting it was really different; it wasn’t like this
before,it wasn’t this bad. I noticed my knees started to swell after I
ran so my mom took me to the doctors and my doctor told me to go to a
knee specialist. My knee specialist told me to go to physiotherapy or my
knees would get worse. I went to physio and the physiotherapist told me
that my knee caps were moving side to side when they were supposed to
move up and down. And she told me that I can’t run, dance or do anything
that involves my knee caps to move side to side because my knee cap
will pop out of my knee. My knee has been improving a lot with the help
of physiotherapy and kinesiology.
My attitude has not changed for P.E even though I cannot do P.E right now. And having an all girls class is really fun. Next semester I will be going to the gym,as soon as my knee gets better.
I would give myself 79% because I come to class and I do everything that my physiotherapist tells my to do at home like stretching.
