rain on the brain.

It couldnt get any worse than this. Okay let me begin the tale of how i found out that i am officially very, very injury prone. first off, one month back while I was playing soccer, when I rushed back to my own defence in hopes of clearing the ball - which I succeeded, but suffered a hard kick to my calf which caused a prolong pain to the calf muscles up till now. I cant tip toe without feeling pain. Regards to Ben for providing this Online-Physio webbie.
Here is injry #1: http://www.sportsmed.buffalo.edu/info/calf.html

Did i say #1? uh huh it's not over yet, days after the first injury, while playing soccer with the guys during PE, my knee collided straight into Jingan's knee while we were struggling to get possession of a ball,it was like in a car crash such that he was the 18-wheeler and i was like the mini-scooter. I limped off immediately in agony to the high jump mat and just laid there like a dead man, the pain was excrutiating. I got kinda excited and without much rest I continued, (well the following isnt really an injury but it shows how injury prone i am) Tong Hern passed a ball to me and while i was trying to control it, the spin of the ball caused it to ricochet off my feet and straight into my sensitive area(YEA YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS!). the pain to that area was temparory but it hurts, while the knee injury still hurts till date.

wait wait, there's still one more added to the list. it took place yesterday. during lunch break, and i went to the basketball court to play soccer(AGAIN?). i took aim and gave a hard shot but the leg position was awkward, from the moment the ball left my feet, i limped straight to the fence and shouted out loud, as the pain was over-bearing. though the ball went in between the 2 posts(yes it was a goal), i thought i might've pulled my hip muscle and it is kinda serious.

Notice a pattern about these injuries? well of course you do. They are ALL soccer-related leg injuries. YEA AVRIL I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING IF YOU'RE READING. heh. i should switch to golf. maybe this is a sign that i should retire(okay maybe this word is too strong) from soccer. from the current circumstances, i just might though. i'm thinking that golf won't really kill or cause injuries, unless the ball or the club lands on any part of my body. Ouch.
