its been 1 month since the ACL injury and its been a bloody hard month as-well. i have just managed to get off my crutches when walking very little distances after having surgery 2 weeks ago. Beth has been so supportive of me during this time and shes been doing amazing in football. 7 goals in 5 matches. i am hoping to be back in training soon so i can start working on rehab and getting my leg better so i can play football. I don't want to rush back into it incase i injury myself even more.
1 week later
i get to go back to training today and the rehab journey begins, im so exited to finally be able to prepare myself and get my leg all sorted. ive been awake for 3 hours waiting patiently for Beth to wake up.
B- oh your awake, i thought you weren't an early bird Viv?
V- good morning livered, ive been up because im exited to come back to training
B- yes im happy but please dont rush yourself, i dont want you getting injured again Viv
V- i wont, ill take it slow i promise
i place a kiss upon Beths lips and approach to get out of bed. i still struggle to walk a bit as my leg strains but im going to work on the muscles to make them stronger.
Beth goes down stairs and comes back up with a bagel and a cup of tea for me. shes been doing this every day and shes helped me out with everything. im so grateful for her
B- here you go lieverd
she lightly smiles at me and passes me the food and drink she brought up.
V- thank you Beth, but whats up you look a bit nervous.
B- well i am nervous for you because i dont want you to strain your leg too much
V- i wont ill take it easy i promise, stop worrying about me ill be okay lieverd honestly.
i comfort Beth by wrapping my arms around her before scoffing all my food down and going to get my training gear on.
B- VIV, COME ON WE NEED TO GOOO
i slowly but quickly walk down the stairs and into the car, Beth followed me carrying my crutches incase i need them.
Beth sits in the drivers seat and starts to drive placing one hand on the wheel and another on my upper thigh.
we arrive at the training ground and i get out the car and beth passes me my crutches as i will need them until i dont have to walk around alot. i hobble into the training ground where im greated by every who all seem really pleased to see me.
K- WELL LOOK WHOSE FINALLY BACK, OUR NO. 1 VIVIANNE MIEDEMAAAAA
Jonas stops katie.
J- alright girls, mainly katie calm down.
J- viv can u follow me please, beth go get ready and go onto the field with the other girls
B- okay boss
beth places a light kiss on my lips before going to the changing rooms to get ready for training
i hobble along on my crutches to Jonases office and shut the door behind me
J- well its great to have you back viv, we have all missed you so much. how are you feeling
V- im happy to be back. im still a little sore, i cant walk long distances but i can do slight muscle exercises on it if it only involves standing
J- thats okay, i didnt want to rush you back into training but Beths been telling me that u have been kicking the ball around the garden
V- shes such a little snitch, but yeah ive missed it too much so a light kick around usually doesnt hurt aslong as i take it easy
J- well thats all we need to cover then, if you need the medics you know where they are and if you need any sort of medication to reduce the pain then just go to the box on the field.
V- thanks alot boss, see you soon
Jonas passes me my crutches and opens the door so i can leave. i start to make my way down the corridor and into the gym. Beth is in there waiting for me
V- erm shouldnt you be on the pitch hmmm ?
B- i urm hurt my ankle so they put me in here
Beth winks and smirks at me
V- if you say so.
i start off by some small exercises like standing on one leg- my sore leg to see how long i can hold the balance- beth times me to see how long i can hold it for
B- 45 seconds not to bad lieverd
V- hopefully rehab should go well and i will be able to make the world cup in 6-7 months time
B- hopefully but dont rush it okay, cause i swear if you pull the healing muscles im not gunna be happy
V- i wontttt i promise.
this journey of rehab is going to be a long one i just know it.
