limping off to another bonspiel...
yeah, that's right. i went out on the ice tonight for double-header games with my little ankle brace on just in case, feeling good that i was almost healed up! and then in the fifth end of the first game -- the very tight first game, against a really good team, that would determine whether we would stay in the top competitive ranking or drop down a rung -- i bent over to sweep a rock and something in the back of my right thigh just above the knee went snap.
apparently whatever it was shouldn't go snap, because now it really fucking hurts to (a) put pressure on the leg in a crouching position or (b) put pressure on the leg when it is fully extended; or, in other words, (a) get down in the hack or (b) push off from the hack and/or sweep a stone at a walking pace. (for some reason, moving at a jog mostly doesn't hurt -- maybe i'm not holding a full extension for long enough.) abka, ellen_fremedon, and insptr_penguin: i'm sorry! i am adviling and icing and resting (i didn't play the second game, although i felt obliged to finish out the first game -- which we lost in a !@#$ extra end) and i hope to be better by friday, but we may need to change up the throwing order. we can talk about it thursday night!
argh.
