20 min w/ Obama; Future Issues

If I was able to have a 20 minute discussion with Barack Obama, I would start of asking him what his initial reaction was when he found out he won the election other than the feeling of joy. I would bring up his views on healthcare and what he plans on doing about the war instead of just a vague response of that we need to evacuate soon. This issue is a major concern to me because even if he is personally against the draft, If we hit rock bottom would that be his first option of would he have effective alternatives.

A particular future issue that concerns me other than the one stated above would have to be the state of the enviornment. Most of the people who are polluting our air such as Executives of major companies like Exxon won't be around to fully experience the damage they have caused. The majoprity of these companies don't care what happens to the planet as long as their profit is high. The people or the things they take advantage of are just collateral damage to their overall selfishness.

Meniscus

Unfortunately my sophomore year of High School during Rugby season I tore my meniscus making a cut on the turf. Even though injured I stupidly continued to play on it the rest of the game and did mot notify my coach or trainer. When the game was over my knee swelled up to an immense size and it locked up. That night I just iced it and the swelling went down and my full range of motion was returned and so it went the whole season I played it swelled and locked up and i iced i did not want to miss the season. So next year roles around its my junior year.. again i played until one day after practiced the icing method no longer worked and it swelled u p so much and was so painful I missed the next day of school. Regretfully I had to tell the coach and I was not able to finidsh the season my junior year. Now senior year has come and over the summer I went to the Orthopedic surgeon finally and got an MRI and i have a tear on the right lateral side of my meniscus and arthroscopic surgery is neccessary. So over winter break this year I will be getting the surgery and I will be on Crutches for approximately three weeks and no activity that involves strain on my knee is allowed for six months after that so. It sucks but I will be missing my senior year and last year of rugby:( , but at least my knee is getting fixed.....right?
