hi this is kate woodard. i've never posted anything on coacht before but i thought i needed to post on here thoughts straight from the source. right now i am sitting in the hospital bed and am doing fine. my breathing, bloodcount, temperature, etc. is all in a pretty healthy state. i should be out of the hostpital in about 10 days from now and then will recover at my house for an aditional 2 weeks or so. i will return to school in about a month and may possibly be able to play by the end of the high school season. i thought by posting here i would be able to reach a lot of people at one time. i would like to thank EVERYONE who has come by, called, or prayed for me. i cannot even begin to express how thankful i am for all of your thoughts and caring actions. my soccer team, the people at FRA, and the soccer community throughout tennessee has been wonderful and i am so grateful for your support. what happened to me last saturday was nothing more than an unfortunate play where i collided with a well respected forward who was doing nothing more than trying to put the ball in the back of the net. there have been some reports and rumors flying around and i would like to set them straight. i am in no way angry or upset at the situation. although i would give anything to be back on the field on my team, i understand that injuries are a part of soccer and are just another part of the game that you have to work hard to overcome. thank you to everyone who has been there for me this past week. i am really thankful, especially to my best friends lyndsey almon and kendra wills who have been here to check up on me EVERYDAY. i love you all and cannot wait until i see everyone back on the field!
