Patty Phommanyvong, 19, is in a nursing home after a cheerleading stunt went wrong at a Marshall High School football game two years ago.

Cheerleading is how I've got two serious knee injuries under my belt and how I'm comstantly cracking and aching bones everytime I sit or stand too long. I cheered for 14 years and I'm only 21. I feel like I have the body of a middle aged woman...everything creaks and aches when it's really cold...it sucks. I don't recommend putting your daughters in cheerleading so young, like my parents did with me, even though I wanted to. I started at age 4 and by the time I was 17, I was not medically cleared by my doctors to even practice anymore. It's not worth it...
