MRI Done now just wait for results

Sooo had my MRI today and now just have to wait a week to get the results back.  if for those who don't know already, according to my X-ray I have a small tear in my meniscus as well as a small tear in my patella tendon which supports the knee cap which on the xray is actually above where it should be.
 My thinking right now is that depending on how severe the tear in both my meniscus and tendon are is to get surgery to clean/repair my knee.
 As much as I would like to get the quick fix with rehab and strengthening my knee which would allow me to  get back on the field as soon as I can, I need to think of the long term effects of not getting surgery and going out onto the field and potentially injuring my knee further.
 I don't want to be out on a field and be worried about whether or not this game would be the one that my knee is injured further, I want to be able to focus on the game at hand and that is why I am seriously considering getting the surgery.
 From all that I have read about arthroscopic knee surgery, and from talking with friends who have had it the recovery/rehab is about 4-6 weeks which if I was able to get a surgery date at the end of February or as close to the beginning of March as I could, I would miss at most the month of April and be back on a field by May.
 I want people to know that I don't regret hurting my knee, because going to Professional Umpiring school was a goal I had hoped to achieve for the last 3 years and I loved every single second of being there, and the friends I met will be friends of mine for the rest of my life :)
 I will keep everyone updated on the progress of what I choose to do and how everything goes!
Thank you to everyone for your support, encouragement, throughout my journey at Umpiring School and now when I am making a career choice about my knee.

Update

Well lets see what has happened since I last updated in march. I finally got to go to NYC and visit my sister and it was a wonderful trip, a trip of a lifetime to be completely honest. I got to see 2 broadway shows, went backstage after one of them. Got to see my cousins and visit with my sister which is something that I rarely get to do. I mean as we were growing up my sister and I were never really that close, and it wasn't till I think we both graduated high school and moved out and into new directions in our lives that our friendship took a new direction as well . I mean we have always been close with one another (goes with being twins) but yet, I really think as we have grown and matured, our friendship as gotten much stronger which is a very wonderful thing for me, because she is the best big (lil since she is only 4'11") sister in the world. During my visit we had so many times where we would just sit and talk with one another, just talk about our lives, the d...

How 14 years forging relationships in MLB should help Cora in the first year as Red Sox Manager

 photo credit: The Mass Media How 14 years forging relationships in MLB should help Cora in the first year as Red Sox Manager When the Red Sox hired Alex Cora as their new manager at the end of October, there were many stand out characteristics that the new manager had including his great communication style. But it was his relationships with the players that he was able to form with them that set him apart from the other candidates for the job. Cora who spent 14 years in MLB including 4 with the Red Sox, was able to relate and form relationships with rookies including in 2007 with then-rookie Dustin Pedroia, as well as use his experience to relate to the veteran player like Manny Ramirez.   Cora said this at his introductory press conference, about how he views inter-personal relationships with his players, " But you’ve got to care about each other. That’s the most important thing. They’re human beings, man, and you’ve got to talk to them. You’ve got to see ho...

Its Kinda a Funny Story

I first watched this movie a week after my own attempt at ending my life, and it brought alot of what was going on in my life at the time to light and made me actually slowly appreciate the small things in life that I do have. I have a great family, wonderful supportive friends, who care about and maybe even like me in return. After a friend suggested I rent a movie, I went out and rented this movie again and once again it reminded me how precious life is and how I do have a lot going for me even though sometime I may feel like I don't have a lot going and that my life is in upheaval, that I know that things have a way of working out and that I just need to balance myself between pushing myself to go after what I want and to be patient and letting things come to me. The Phoenix is once again preparing for liftoff
