I <3 Volleyball
Eli has recently turned into this absurd Volleyball addict (by recently I mean over the last year but thats kinda recent). Thats all his crew of people ever do. So last weekend they had a BBQ and of course played volleyball there. I was sitting on the sidelines watching until I finally decided fuck it. I'm tired of sitting around watching everything because my legs are in pain and its never going to heal. All together I made it about a half hour when after one particular jump I landed bad on my left leg. The one with the mysterious hip injury that has never been figured out.
It hurt. Badly. Worse than at any point since the injury began. I couldn't put any weight on that leg at all without tremendous pain. So I limped my way to my car, drove my home and sat down for as long as I could.
Four hours later I stood up, I don't remember why. The pain was gone. As in not just this new tremendous pain was gone, but all of the pain was gone. I've gotten a little adventurous since then. There are still some ways to cause myself pain, but they are fairly extreme positions. I have to consciously stop myself from acting normal now because its so close to being normal. In the mean time I am slowly increasing my mobility just to make sure I don't injure it again.
The best part of this is now I can work out my right knee without aggravating the hip, so I'll finally be able to fix that leg too. It's happy stuff.
