Peyton's new accessory.....

Well, she's on the DL again.  Last week in a pre season soccer scrimmage, she had a fluke injury.  One of her teammates got shoved and ultimately fell into Peyton.  She fell into the side of Peyton's calf, and Peyton's lower leg went one way and her knee went the other way.

She went down, she hobbled off the field and wanted to stay for the rest of the scrimmage.  By half-time, she was freezing and her knee hurt so she wanted to go home.  She tried hopping on one foot all the way to the car (she thought she could), once her good leg got tired, I said, here hop of my back.  She was pretty impressed that I could carry her!!  HA!

The next day she went to school, limping.  Once she came out of school and got home she and Mike talked about it and she was telling him it still hurt her to straighten her leg and that she couldn't straighten it all the way.

He took her up to work and put her on the MRI machine.  Sure enough, she has a sprained MCL and a fractured femur.  Mike took her to the ortho doc a few days later and he told her she'd be out six weeks.  She was ok with this news, as her biggest fear was SURGERY!!  She had herself all freaked out!!!  So she gets to wear this nice big knee brace as her new accessory and wait six weeks until she's back in action.....
