Not again...!




Another injury to add to my fast growing list...Thank God it's not THAT serious as the previous one,nor as painful. This was sustained during a pre-match training session,when the girls were just randomly whacking shots at me. And I have to dance around them,blocking and kicking,when suddenly a hard shot came,and I used the left side of my right calf to block it,and instead of the usual loud "pock" of ball hitting plastic,there was this soft "thup",and there was an accompanying unbearable pain that quickly took control of my entire leg. In just a second,I was doubled over,clutching the fast-numbing leg with tears streaming down my face. Fuck. I looked like some soft sissy,but hey,it was bone-splitting ache okay!

Curses came later when I realised the gear wasn't padded up properly and was loose at one side,exposing just the right amount of leg to the ball. And how nice and accurate the shot was to hit right at the vulnerable spot. Ugh,Murphy's Law working hard again...I then remembered it was Mr Seet who helped me with the padding up just now,damn,but it's also my fault for not checking whether it was secured properly. So for the next hour or so,I had to bear with the pain of having the kickers,securely and firmly tightened,pressing fucking hard against my already swelling blue-black leg. Yeah,and run around with it,when I can hardly move with something so tightly pressed against the swell! It hurts,every step just made me tear,but what can I do? Bear with it and play on. *sighs*

One leg's healed and the other gets injured...taking turns eh?
