Two Weeks, Two Injuries

Well the softball season has started and lo and behold 2 games and 2 injuries. The first was a sprained back. How you might ask could I sprain my back playing softball? Well, let me tell you...I bent over to pick up a ball that was hit to the outfield. I went down on a knee like I was taught to get the ball and when I did I felt my back strain real bad. I was able to play the whole game but afterwards I was not able to sit down, and later get out of bed. I finally relented and went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a sprained back. Ouch!!!! I missed a couple more days of work and working out and actually went for a run on Saturday. I felt pretty good. Good enuff that I thought I could make it thru the game on Sunday. I was wrong. I should have taken a week off but that is not in my nature. Now I went to run to get a ball and not only did I pull one quadriceps muscle but both of them. Plus, my back is still real bad and I realize I should have really taken that week off. We have a doubleheader this week and then a week off. I really want to play this weekend but I don't know if I can handle it. The most important thing is that we are now 1-1 on the season. My hitting is really suffering. I am now 2 for 10 on the season. Right now everything feels broke. I don't feel comfortable at all. I want to keep a level head and keep thinking that it will get better. Anyway, I will keep a running tab on the season and hopefully we can do better from week to week. Holla if you hear me....
