day before my surgery

Today is May 11, 2010 and I am very much new to this. Thanks to "The Void", I am going to give this blog thing a try. Today is the day before my surgery and I am pretty nervous. I had my last final at school today, so most of my stress has left me but the nervousness is still there. I have my surgery at 7:15 am and I have to be at the hospital at 6:00 am. My mom and my boyfriend are staying the night that way we all can wake up and go to the hospital together.
Your probably wondering, "what the heck is she talking about and what's wrong with her?" And if your not wondering that, ill tell you anyways.

I was playing indoor soccer on April 13, 2010 and it was my team versus another team that loves to push and shove and play dirty. I was playing defense, the position I hate the most and a girl on the other team had the ball and was headed toward our goal. So I ran along the side of her making sure that she couldn't shoot the ball and I also tried to steal the ball. Before I knew it her shoulder was being pushed over towards me. SHE TOTALLY PUSHED ME! hello foul. but what's the point of a foul when I'm on the ground crying like a baby. ); When she pushed me I remember feeling something pop out of my knee and pop back in. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. I remember my team mates asking if I was okay and I remember the manager of the indoor arena getting me ice to put on my knee. Lucky, one of my teammates had a wheel chair in her car and they got that for me to assist me off the field. They rolled me off the field and they resumed the game. I wanted to be on that field playing but I was in a great deal of pain I couldn't stop crying. The insisted that I go to the hospital and once my boyfriend showed up thats where we went.
but to make a long story short....

the end results were that I had torn my ACL and some miniscus (sp?) damage.

I am beyond nervous right now and really don't know what to expect.
I am probably going to post tonight so read if you'd like
