When Joey Geschke swims a lap, he experiences a miracle.
On Thanksgiving Day 2003, Geschke was playing football at his uncle's
house in Virginia. He slipped on ice and fell into a hole, breaking his
knee. Within a few months, Geschke would have surgery to remove
his broken patella, a surgery that would require an update every 2 1/2
years. Geschke's patellar tendon now grows back infected, each time
requiring another surgery to remove the infection. He has undergone
three surgeries, the last of which was performed in April.
