In the Penalty Box
If you had to pick one moment in fastpitch softball, what is your all time favorite? One moment that you'll never forget. Maybe a college offer? A game winning homerun by your daughter? A state championship?
My dd broke both bones in her leg and had compartment syndrome her 11u year (Feb 3 years ago). Doctors said she was was lucky to have caught it in time as initial emergency room had misdiagnosed and had not even got a good scan of the leg. She was not expected to play at all that season. She played with 2 rods the size of knitting needles in her leg and 3 screws. She worked her butt off and did not miss a summer game. She had a pretty productive year all in all. We never take anything for granted after this, as you never know when it will all come to an end.
Thanks. Nasty scars on her leg that will always be a reminder. They remind me that no matter how bad you think it is, it can always be worse. We enjoy each day as it were her last playing the game we both love. Her to play and for her family to watch her play.Im happy she is alright.
Don't think I took a breath for many minutes during that at bat.Oh, by the way, I was one of Ashleigh's coaches when she came back from that injury and got a hit in her first at bat back ... that was one of my top 10 moments for sure as well!!
