OUCH!

Just getting home and ready for bed after a late volleyball game. I turned my ankle in the third game. I was drifting to my right, towards the middle, for a set off the net. It was a set clearly intended for me although it wasn't a very good one. I got to it, jumped, and hit the ball. When I came down I felt another foot under my right foot. I turned my ankle (for the umpteenth time). What bothers me the most is that the pain is in the back of the ankle and not in the sides. It implies an Achilles injury. That could take a while to heal and have several more weeks of VB and softball before I get a break.

Ice, Ibuprofen and a new ankle brace have been self perscribed. I was supposed to sub for a friend's team tomorrow night. I hope they can find another sub. I don't know if I will be able to play at all. My own league game is Wednesday and I'm leery of that.
