Petra Januskova - Biography
Petra Januskova is a Canadian tennis player who was born on 03 Mar 1991. Januskova started playing tennis at the age of five. She prefers clay courts, according to the ITF profile, and plays especially at the ITF Women's Circuit , where she has also won six titles in doubles. Petra faced a serious illness which is described below by her words.
"Last October, I suffered a career- threatening injury which had snuck up on me out of nowhere. In the midst of a tournament, during my quarterfinal match, I started to feel my body breaking down. Pain shooting from one joint to another, inflammation throughout my body. During the night I could barely walk, and my fever was skyrocketing. I went to the hospital three times in a period of two weeks. They couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. They had sent me to the “infection department hospital” because my body was locked. By this point, I couldn’t move or do anything, except just lay there. The pain was excruciating."
"After a week of being hospitalized, not hearing, waiting, they finally diagnosed me. Turns out, Rheumatic Fever and Post-streptococcal Reactive Arthritis took over my body. Knowing the diagnosis was a relief by itself because at least I now knew what was wrong with me. The hospital put me on several types of antibiotics and kept me there for days to monitor my progress and coping with the meds before getting released."
"They told me that the recovery process could take months to years for my ASO (a blood test to measure antibodies against streptolysin O) to go back down to normal levels and before I would feel 100% again. It was obvious to me that it would be tough to recover from this bump in my path. I knew it would require a great deal of courage and determination, but I wanted it more than anything. To return, feeling healthy, and getting back on the court again! But I didn’t know, could I every play again?"
