HEALTHY KNEES
Submitted by: Emilio
Tenerife, SpainI’ve always been injury-prone in the past 14 years I’ve been playing basketball. I had injuries and health problems every year. I used to think and dwell a lot upon those injuries, and feel really bad and angry at having them because I truly love basketball and there is nothing I like more to do than playing ball. Since I started playing my knees have always been the issue. I have visited like 5 or 6 orthopaedic surgeons all this time, all of them have told me to stop playing or my knees would get seriously injured. I became discouraged after my last visit to the doctor (last year, one prestigious doctor that is well known for his knowledge about knees), where he told me my knees weren’t made for basketball and he told me to leave the sport and stop persisting with it, because it was a nonsense. See, all this time I kept playing besides all this, through the pain, resting like a couple of months each year because the pain was too much for me to handle. After this last visit, I finally did what the doctor suggested me to do, the pain was strong and I was afraid I could get worse and worse and end up really messed up in my knees. After almost one year without playing (playing very sporadically), I watched “The Secret”, I started to visualize and repeat to myself my knees were healed, my knees were 100% healthy, I visualized myself dunking, jumping to make shots, running and playing basketball without any pain in my knees… well, last December 06′ I was able to play 4 times, January this year 7 times, and this month of February I have already played 7 times and we are in the middle of the month! And I feel great in my knees, I am jumping and giving it all every time I play, playing without fear of hurting my knees, and with the confidence of knowing they’re now healed. And they’re responding! Today I played 3 hours non-stop and yesterday 2 hours the same way. I can’t remember the last time I did play 2 days in a row! I’m so grateful and happy now that I got a new set of knees which allow me to do what I love to do. Play ball. We all have got miracle working power in us, and The Secret opened my eyes to it. Thanks!
