I did a dumb...

And my body was not ready.

I promise I didn't make this post just to make that reference.... just mostly for that reason.

Short story (and I do want short, as it's 10:30pm here and I've have quite the day)

So it was almost exactly 2 months ago that I sprained my knee. It's been doing a lot better. And Cuppers is coming up. I thought I was well enough for at least a non-contact practice.

I was wrong.

I went to rugby today and during a drill my left knee buckled and went a bit sideways.

It hurt a lot and one of the first aid guys attending to the nearby athletics events drove me and a teammate to the hospital. Mostly we just sat int he waiting room and talked (thank you so much for coming with and waiting all that time!) until the doctor called me and said exactly what I knew he would - basically "well, don't do that." :P - ice, rest, the same as before.

I don't think I've made my knee worse. But I may have undone some of the progress I had made.

For those worried - especially if you saw me wielding crutches today - know the time I had gotten home I was carrying both of those crutches and not using them.

I really am okay. But I have a feeling that I won't have any rugby-related updates for quite a while.

I'm thinking that I will be out for the term - and thus the summer - and so may choose to start back again in October. We shall see.

Moral of the story: Just don't.

This was obviously a really dumb thing for me to do. I shouldn't have gone. I shouldn't have pushed it. But I did. Part of me knows that if I hadn't tried I would have yell at myself for it. Now at least I KNOW. Not sure it's worth it but yeah.

Hopefully this term I'll actually be able to work out a time to meet the physio.

Thanks for reading this update, as always. Sorry to not put much into it. I'm gonna go sleep now.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow, praise him all creatures here below, praise him above ye heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
