Injuries


Clare hit that monster shot in Appleton the same day, and just about the same time, as Derrick Rose of the Bulls tore his ACL in the NBA playoffs.  And today Rose had surgery on his other knee for a torn meniscus.  Parents may hate injuries more than even their athlete-children do.

I worry about things breaking—arms, wrists, ankles, fingers and legs—or tearing a la Rose.  I worry about concussions and double vision and colds that bring on asthma.  I worry about a rehabbed shoulder from high school flaring up and back spasms.  I worry for a reason
            There has to be one last season because there has to be.  And there are no guarantees.
