Hope woke up at 7 and tried to wake me. I had no response and so Hope just went to breakfast without me.
Ali: anything?
Hope: no like she hasn't moved or made a sound.
Alex: she's alive right?
Hope: yeah I checked her pulse and made sure she was breathing
Ash: do you know what she'll be like when she does wake up?
Hope: her dad said it varies
Ali: best versus worst
Hope: best she'll talk about it and it means she is fine again
Alex: worst?
Hope: she might talk but she emotionally hardens until she has a second breakdown. After the second one she should be fine
Ash: well let's pray for the best
The girls went to recovery and then Jill called Hope into her room.
Jill: is she still asleep?
Hope: as of 7:20 yes
Jill: well when she wakes she needs to see Dawn, Beck and then me
Hope: of course, what are your plans?
Jill: well after she eats and Beck treats her ankle and she has recovery I want to talk to her. From there I'll decide if I want her to take the psych test again.
Hope: she's required to pass to play on Friday, isn't she?
Jill: yes, she is
Hope: alright well I have compression and then I will go check on her.
Hope had her last treatment and then got back to the room at 10:30. Hope noticed I had moved and tried to wake me.
Hope: Baby Horse come on
Me: mm
Hope: Savannah please
Me: mmm ow
Hope: what?
Me: everything hurts
Hope: well come on you have recovery soon
Me: what happened?
Hope: you had a breakdown
Me: I did?
Hope: yes, think back to last night right after the game.
Me: they know about my mom
Hope: they do
Me: I need to apologize to my dad
Hope: you can do that later, but now you need to go see Dawn
Me: actually I think I need to see Beck first
Hope: why?
Me: my hand is blue and purple and has dried blood
Hope: what!
Me: plus it hurts
I got up and went to walk out.
Hope: Baby Horse
Me: yeah?
Hope: shirt, pants, and at least some socks please
Me: oh, yeah that might help.
I got dressed and went to find Beck. He was in the training room and told me hop up.
Beck: I don't think its broken. A severe sprain and bone bruise. I'm going to clean the cuts and then ice it. After you eat come back and I'll either splint it or if I can find a brace I'll use that
Me: alright
Beck wrapped the ice on and I went to Dawn. Dawn took my blood and then sent me to eat.
I had salad, two sandwiches, fruit, and Hope let me get a brownie. I went back to Beck and he wrapped gauze over my knuckles and then put stretch tape over it. Beck put a brace that went from my mid forearm to the tip of my fingers.
Beck: come ice every 3 to 4 hours
Me: alright
I left and went to knock on Jill's door.
Jill: Baby Horse come in
Me: thank you
Jill: how are you feeling?
Me: drained but good
Jill: well in order for you to play on Friday I need you to take another psych evaluation.
Me: yes mam
Jill: I have arranged for you to take it in 30 minutes in the lounge
Me: alight thank you.
*Dad: Hope.
Hope: General Reed.
Dad: how is she?
Hope: awake and currently talking to our head coach, when will we know if Savannah is okay or not?
Dad: well she's only ever had 3 of the complete breakdowns and 1 was good, 1 was really bad and the other one was a cross between the two but she still had the second breakdown. If she's worse, in a day or two you will definitely know.
Hope: what can we expect?
Dad: she's earned the nickname Medusa from the previous two times
Hope: that bad?
Dad: yeah, she is a force to be reckoned with.
Hope: alright thank you, one last thing
Dad: yes?
Hope: I hate to ask but when is her mom's birthday?
Dad: it's this Friday, I'm surprised Savannah didn't tell you this
Hope: she wouldn't want me to know it's the day of final
Dad: well she might tell you now
Hope: hopefully, well you may get a call from her later today.
Dad: alright thank you.
Hope hung up as I came in.
Hope: so?
Me: I have a psych evaluation in 15 minutes.
Hope: I'm sure you'll be fine
Me: thank you for yesterday
Hope: of course
Me: I heard it was you who picked me for the 5th PK
Hope: it was...
Me: thank you for believing in me.
Hope: anytime, also your 15 minutes are up, now get going
Me: I am
I went to the lounge and met Dr. Sabine. An hour and a half later I finished and Jill came in to talk to her while I was in the hall. I was called back in and sat down.
Jill: on hearing the results of Dr. Sabine's exam I am clearing you to play on Friday
Me: thank you!
Jill: alright Baby Horse you are free to go. Can you send Hope in please?
Me: yes mam
I went to my room and told Hope that Jill wanted her. Hope told me Dawn wanted me in the pool area. I went down and while I was in the ice bath I called my dad.
Dad: Savannah?
Me: hey daddy
Dad: how are you?
Me: okay for now, I know you heard about my breakdown
Dad: I did
Me: I'm sorry for what I said to you
Dad: well you weren't wrong
Me: I was, it was meant to hurt you and it's not how I really feel. I am honored to say my dad is a 4-star general
Dad: thank you Savannah
Me: so when are you going back?
Dad: I fly out Saturday
Me: oh
Dad: yeah we have a meeting to discuss upcoming events.
Me: I understand, well I have to go.
Dad: okay bye squirt
Me: bye daddy
I hung up and dried off. I went to my room and changed. I went to dinner and joined the girls. We had our normal conversations and then Kelley and I went up to pick a movie.
Hope: you three sit back down
Ali: what's up
Hope: her mom's birthday is Friday
Alex: like final Friday, what are you going to do?
Hope: nothing until she tells me herself?
Ash: who did you ask?
Hope: I talked to her dad again today. He also told me about her nickname she's earned.
Ali: what is it?
Hope: Medusa
Alex: the snake haired lady?
Hope: yup
Ali: well I hope she isn't
The 4 of them joined movie night right as Kelley and I decided on Pitch Perfect 2. Kelly and I sang along so we stayed awake until the end for once. Once the movie ended the girls went their rooms. I showered and then Hope and I got ready for bed.
Me: hey Hope.
Hope: yeah?
Me: uh well, you know what never mind
Hope: alright, how's your hand feeling?
Me: okay for now
Hope: good, did you call your dad?
Me: yeah. I apologized
Hope: well that's a start
Me: I know
Hope: SB why are you crying? I know he's not mad at you, he never was.
Me: yeah I know, I'm glad he serves our country, I just wish he could be here to watch me.
Hope: that's understandable, and hey just because he's not here in person doesn't mean that he isn't watching
Me: I guess
Hope: well get some sleep, you need it
Me: goodnight Hopey
Hope: Goodnight Savannah Blaire.
