Out with injury

The past few weeks I've been sidelined with tendonitis in my wrist. I was supposed be out west playing in two tournaments in California and another in Arizona but that's not happening. In the previous tournament and the days leading up to it I felt something in my wrist and thumb but I figured it was nothing. At the tournament the trainer didn't know what was wrong so she said I should get it checked out so I did. After an X-ray and a MRI one of the best hand specialists in the US said it was tendonitis. I was happy that they figured out what was wrong but felt a bit stupid because it was only tendonitis. I thought about going to the scheduled tournaments but decided to rest so that I would be able to compete the rest of the year and not make it worse. Also I wouldn't want to stop in the middle of the season when there are so many tournaments to choose from. So since the last tournament I've hit a few times but I've been mostly working out. Trying to get my strength and endurance up because I felt they were lacking. I head back to the court on Monday so I'm hoping everything goes well and I can start practicing more. Fingers crossed.
