During Practice at Rolling Hills on July 1, I cased a triple and flipped over my handle bars landing on and injurying my knee. My mom made me sit with ice on my knee until my first moto, which hurt terribly. I took the hole shot (which was awesome!), but I was unable to race, just ride finishing 13th. There was a long time span between my first and second classes; so I sat with my knee elevated with ice on it and took some ibuprofen for the swelling. My parents told me that whether or not I went back out was up to me. So, when the second moto came around - I was gone! My knee hurt sooo bad. I again just rode around finishing 13th. My parents then decided that I was done. I didn't get to race my second motos, so I finished with 2 dns. This dropped me in the points considerably! My parents took me to the doctor and they did some x-rays and said I had a severe contusion (really really bad bruise) and gave a brace to wear. He said as soon as I was pain free (7 to 10 days) I could race again with my brace one. 20 days later, my knee still hurts to walk on. I went to the beach with my family and was ok, my knee didn't really bother me until I tried to take the stairs because the elevator was TOOO SLOW! My mom is taking me Wednesday morning for an MRI. I missed the Pro Sport MX race this past weekend, which I'm sure really effected my points, not sure how bad yet though. Hopefully we'll know more after the MRI.
