Although it may seem like a hard decision.
It was the easiest decision that I ever made.
Surgery was the only option that showed any chance of getting me back playing by tryouts.
We scheduled the surgery for the first open time. October 20th
for a bilateral patella mirco-fracture.

After nearly a month of this and only a month and a half left until club volleyball tryouts. 

Dr Badger gave me my options. 

1) stay on the same path. and although it was slim with my case. we may see improvement. 

2) Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections- the take blood out of you, spin out all of the white blood cells (healing blood cells) and inject it into your knee. 

3) Surgery- although it is the most drastic. it also shows the most response. They will cut into your knee and perform a patellar tendon micro fracture. They cut into you, take out the dead tendon and drill 3 holes in your knee cap to stimulate blood flow. 

After the injected MRI we figured out that since my knees endured so much "abuse" even after they became injured. The swelling began to spread from the point of origin to all along my patellar tendon. and in this process my body tried to kill off what ever was inflamming my tendon; by doing that, my body cut all blood supply to my tendon area. which was the reason that it wasn't healing properly. Basically my body was trying to detatch my patellar tendon from my knee to keep  the inflammation from spreading.

Dr. Badger, put me on a program that involved ultra sound and friction and ice.
Ultra sound to help get blood flow as well as friction massage.

As the high school season began to come to an end and club tryouts were getting closer.
My high school coach got me into see his personal friend. Doctor badger an orthopedic surgeon.
I got a new MRI taken. This time my knees were injected (until they felt like they would burst)
with dye. In order for them to make sure that there was not a tear or anything.
because of my slow progress they expected a tear. but never found one.

I tried to support my high school team even though i wasn't playing. At first i went to every practice and game. But before i knew it i was caught up in trying to keep my knees healthy by swimming and physical therapy and doctors appointments that i no longer had time.

High school volleyball tryouts were coming up fast so i decided to tryout.
I was excited to be back playing. 3 days of 8 hour tryouts.
I played my hardest, because i wanted to make varsity, and letter as a sophomore.
But I guess my knees weren't as healed as i thought.
because by the end of the three days i could barely walk.
