And there it goes...
Wednesday 12/07/2006 5:45 pmNormal boring office day. Some plans to play basketball in the evening and then maybe go off to catch some late dinner. Was thinking about what to do over the weekend. There was Superman to watch, and my new Megadeth and Silverchair DVDs to watch. And then there was basketball to play and some books to read. All in all a weekend that I could look forward too.

On the basketball court. The whole MS team has met up after a long time. A few jokes shared, some warmup and then we get into a game. A make a clean swish with the first shot i make :) It feels good. Then I again get the ball and make a clean break.A team mate is running to my right. Somebody comes over to guard me so i think about a pass to my open teammate.He has a good open shot . All it requires is a nice fake and then a swivel on my right leg. Fake comes of well. Then i swivel. But my knee refuses to hold me up. And i crumple to the ground,writhing in pain. I dont know what went wrong. It was meant to be a nice move.

My roommate is rushing me to Apollo Hospital's Emergency room. I am on a wheelchair. My knee feels as if its been crushed by a hammer. "Oh god! Not again! Not again! Anything but that pain..."

I wake up all groggy and can barely see around me.I am in a delhi hospital. My knee is all bandaged up and i know that i am just coming out of anaesthesia. My mum's in one corner giving me a reassuring smile. The doctor tells me that I have torn a cartilage and a ligament in my knee and they cleaned that up during the operation. I was lucky to have not ruptured the ACL ligament that he had reconstructed in 2002 in the same knee. However it does have a 20% tear. I ask him what I can do to give it strength again . He says " Nothing...just dont fall again." He says that no sports for me ever again . No basketball, football, badminton or squash. If i tear the remaining 80% then there isnt much that they can do. Its only treadmills, weights and swimming from here on for me.
Life sucks...and how!!
