Tendonitis

Well the report is official...the Doc says Josh has tendonitis in the right ankle. And rest is the only way for it to get better. That means, of course, no more soccer this season. There are 4 games left that he will miss. Its hard because he does enjoy playing, although the last few weeks were frustrating because of the pain. He also got a note from the doctor authorizing no gym class for 2 weeks; he was not as sad about that.
For my part I am mostly happy. Happy we have a simple, definite diagnosis. And happy that the chaos of soccer season is over sooner rather than later. I am feeling guilty for feeling happy. But nevertheless, that is where I am at. I do feel sad for my son though. Its hard to watch the frustration he is going through. And I admit to a little frustration myself knowing that this ankle issue will probably return to haunt him in the next soccer season as well. I guess I can only hope and pray for the best.
