Expectations Derek Skiles The feeling is weird. You know your going to be out for a long time. You know there's going to be a lot of pain. You say you will be ok when it's over, but it's never over. It keeps coming and the older you get the worse it's going to be, but there's hope to make that recovery. You know, we all know you will probably never be 100% again. I feel like I should be at the end, but I know I'm not even close. Breaking my knee was probably the worse thing that's happened to me. I have dealt with my hand for years, but this knee thing I feel will always be a problem. I know therapy helped, but it actually didn't. There's still something more. I don't know if it's physically or if it's mentally all in my head. I have already quit one sport due to this problem and I don't want to quit another one. My coaches tell me if I work hard and improve I will have my chance to play, but what they don't see is that, I am giving my best, I'm giving all I can I'm risking another injury just to play a stupid game.
