Comeback Stories

Learn MoreIn October of my senior year, we were playing against ETSU for our Shauna’s House game. The stadium was packed out, and it was an extremely close game. With about 10 minutes left, I was going to cut in on my left foot to take a shot. At the same time, a girl slides and tackles me. It was a freak accident to where she perfectly clipped my ankle to cause my bones to smack together. There was a loud pop. I knew something wasn’t right but hoped for the best.

I was unsure if I could walk again, let alone play sports. I couldn’t put any weight on my foot for a month and had to trust the process to slowly regain mobility and strength. Thanks to Dr. Norman Waldrop, his staff, and physical therapists, what was supposed to be a year-long recovery, was only eight months. I am thankful to Dr. Waldrop, who stepped up in a high-pressure emergency and got me back healthy and to competing quickly and safely.

I was born with bad bilateral bunions on both feet. It was very severe and caused my big toes to point towards my pinky toes. We are very good friends of Dr. Emily Bell Casey and she had seen me for the past 4 years about this issue. She monitored the growth plates and wanted to make sure they were closed before referring me for surgery.

At my appointment with Dr. Michael Ryan, he shared with me that I had torn my labrum. He recommended that I have a hip arthroscopy and labral repair. Dr. Ryan explained the procedure in detail. Before I even told him I was a previous dancer, he said he could tell because it was normal for dancers to experience this condition gradually over time.

In January 2015, which was my junior year in high school (Veterans High, Kathleen, GA), I was being recruited by some colleges to play college baseball. My dream was to play baseball as long as I could, and college was my next step. I was long tossing with some friends getting ready for my junior season when I felt a pop and heard a snap in my right elbow.
