Hi! I'm new! :)

Hello, I'm new!!! Well, I'll start off by telling you that I'm a cheerleader and I absoultely love it with a passion. However, a year ago I was tumbling on a gym floor and I broke both of my femurs and cracked a knee cap. The accident required surgery to repair the breaks so I had the surgery and they put metal rods and pins in my legs. I obviously couldn't walk for three months so I was in a wheelchair. Then I started physical therapy and eventually started walking very slowly. But I was determined to go back to cheerleading (most people don't understand but what can I say I just love the sport) so I worked really hard through the intense pain. Now a year later I'm completely back to cheerleading at the varsity level (tumbling and all) and it's really tough on my knees. My doctor said that the pain would go away after like 9 months to a year and it's been over a year and sometimes the pain gets worse. I've had a cortisone shot and that didn't really help... It's just hard I have pain like every single day no matter if I'm cheering or not and it's from the metal rods in my legs. However, despite the pain I have accomplished a lot. My team recently competed against our rivals and won... I consider this my personal best because even though my skills aren't as good as they were before the accident I have overcome people's expectations of me and also have overcome pain. After I broke both of my legs, many people were certain that I would never cheer against nevertheless tumble! However, I proved them wrong. :)
