This will more that likely be my last blog until I get to the states on Tuesday. For, I leave for Paris tomorrow and Natalie will stay to play doubles here in Marseilles. Unfortunately, she lost singles today. She was smokin the opponent in the first, serving at 40-0 to go up 5-2. And couldn't win a point if her life depended on it. After the match, tears filled the eyes and unrealistic point of view about tennis filled her mouth. Totally frustrated at the mental state of her game. But as I told her, only she has control of her mind. Not sure how to get her over this mental hump. But I will be working on it when I get home so we will have a plan of action when she returns.
The weather here has been amazing and I hate to leave this beautiful place. For three straight weeks we barely saw the sun and now that we are, I have to go home. Must say I have mixed emotions. I will go back into the fry pan with Nana upon my return. The break I've had physically and mentally from that situation was needed and has been nice. However, she had a doctor visit and now they want to do surgery. I need to meed with the doc and see why he has changed his mind about repairing her shoulder. As well as the details and post op details, so that Nana and I can decide what to do. It is ultimately up to her as far as I'm concerned but I want all the details so that I can tell her what they are. In hopes of her making an informed decision. Have to brag about Nic spearheading her care and schedule while I've been gone. I'm sure it hasn't been easy for him and his schedule but he did it and never complained the entire time. I'm very proud of him and his efforts.
Tomorrow morning I head out, Nat will head to practice. For she and Melichar will play doubles here beginning Tuesday or Wednesday. The registration deadline is tomorrow at noon for doubles. So by late afternoon we will know when they will play their first match.
I will not have a computer with me, for Nat is keeping it. Therefore, I won't be able to post videos and or pictures until she gets home next week....sorry!~ Hopefully one day, we can afford a computer for me. Take care and see you on state side....until then...Love and Blessings....Sherry!
