Ups and Downs

Yesterday I was at PE. My class was playing soccer and I went over to be goal keeper and when I walked up my friend was standing there looking very sad and then she said she was sad she could not be goal keeper. Because of my KTS I can only play goal keeper since I can not run. While I was playing I began to feel bad that I was making it where my friends could not play the positions they wanted to play then I asked one of my classmates to watch the goal for me. Then I ran to my PE teacher to ask whether I could go to the restroom. He said yes so when I got to the restroom I started balling my eyes out. When I got back outside I sat on a bench because when I cried my leg went weak. A few minuets later my school Secretary comes out and sees me sitting there sadly and she asked me why I was sad so I explained to her that it had been 11 months since my surgery and we had expected that I would running and jumping like a normal kid but instead here I was sitting on the bench with a weak leg. Then she said she could understand why I would be sad and frustrated at times. I am glad she sat with me and my PT therapist for helping me.

I am diagnosed with KTS and I want to help kids going through the same thing.
