Now we know that Annie has been suffering from mono. The doctor called on Friday and told her not to play any contact sports for four weeks. Apparently mono inflames the spleen, which then is prone to bursting with life-threatening potential. What bad timing - this will keep Annie on the sidelines for almost the entire lacrosse season, which begins with a game on Tuesday.
Annie's coach has given her responsibility for coaching Sierra, the sophomore who will be playing in goal for the Warriors while Annie is out. On the bright side, being the goalie coach is something new for Annie to learn, and will keep her involved as a member of the team right through her layoff. But watching from the bench for the first 13 games still is a bitter pill for her to swallow.
