Ankle Injury

RICE

For those who don’t know, I sprained my ankle during my volleyball league on Thursday 8/28/08 (coincidentally my sister’s 30th birthday). I was blocking and the hitter decided to come under the net. I landed on his foot and rolled my right ankle. I was laid out all Labor Day weekend with my butt on the couch and my foot in the air.

I’m happy to report that my ankle feels much better today (almost a full week later). Still have some residual pain when the blood rushes back to the area and almost no range of motion but at least when I put my weight on it, it’s not squealing in agony.

One thing I have noticed about the human race during this period … we’re a bunch of jerks! I’ve never seen so many rude looks, unhelpful attitudes, and just general demeanor of “I don’t give a shit about you” in all my life. I now strive to go out of my way to help those struggling to get around. I feel your pain and I am truly sorry if I’ve ever been discourteous.

Victory

We won the social indoor volleyball championship last night!

We went into the tournament having only lost 2 games in the season but got off to rough start against a seemingly unknown team. A closer look revealed that we had played them before but they decided to recruit better players for the tournament. I hate when people do that. Isn’t the point of the whole thing to play through the season and then get good enough to win in the tournament without any outside help? Anyway, we still won the game and moved forward.

The rest of the matches were a breeze. We quickly beat out every team until the championship match. The rules changed, quick game to 21 instead of 15 this time, and we were going against the team with 2 of the best hitters in the league. We pulled ahead to a quick lead but we lost it when one of their monster hitters moved to the front row and the other was serving. It was touch and go there for a while but with a fairly close game right til the end…WE WON.

We were awarded a little VAVI bobble head and this wonderful picture. Congratulations Scraps….we did it!!
