We went back to see Cayla's doctor today. He said she has a torn MCL as well as an ACL.That is why she is still having the pain on the interior of the knee. The pain is the worse in the morning's. I guess the knee has been so still during the night it has to get warmed up. He wants her to continue to exercise the knee. Before he will do any surgery she must have no swelling and full range of motion back in that knee. She can now walk on the knee, but must wear the immobilizer when out around people. The knee must stay protected! She actually asked him if she could dribble the ball down the court for her last home game of her career! And maybe even shoot it. Or she could just go down & stand & take a shot! I could not believe she asked him. He told her that if both teams agreed not to touch her that she could. Then he said, you will need to wear your brace and I do not think they will allow you to do that! Poor thing!!
