So, it looks like i'm getting an ultrasound and an x-ray to see if I have a tear in my muscle. Then I might have to get a MRI because there is a chance that I have a sport hernia.
My hopes were high after Friday nights game, thinking that I might be good to go for the rest of the season. But then came Tuesday nights game - and the pain is back. And so is the question why? Why is the pain back? C'mon this is my eighth week of physio!
I keep on reminding myself that I have to keep a good perspective. There is absolutely nothing I can do about it. I think that the book Soul Surfer by Bethany Hamilton, and watching her movie yesterday for the first time being out on DVD, has been inspiring me and encouraging me knowing that there is more to summer than soccer. The only thing to do at this point is to change my perspective - to know that something good is going to come out of this. That this is for a reason - for a purpose. This is a part of God's plan for my life. I look to Bethany Hamilton for inspiration because you really think that, that shark could have killed her. She could have had more damage done that might disable her from surfing for the rest of her life - but it didn't. I'm not done playing soccer, and soccer is done with me. God isn't finished with me yet. And i'm not ready to give up, and neither is my hip.
I've got a tournament this weekend - I leave on Saturday. Friday I have a physio appointment, and an x-ray and ultrasound planned. We will know Friday if playing in this tournament is a good idea.
All I can do is pray. Because I know, God is stronger than my hip flexor. God is stronger than an ultrasound, x-ray and MRI. God is stronger than a physio appointment. God is stronger than all the teams in this upcoming tournament. God is stronger, and greater. He will never fail me, nor my hip flexor. So I'm leaving it up to Him, and we'll wait to see the results on Friday.
Thank-you Bethany for your inspiration and for changing your perspective.
