so last night i was playing basketball like i do every wednesday. we were having a bit of a tough time against this team, but we were hanging in there - a one or two basket game. we were all sharing the load, spreading the scoring...i had this pretty little drive, put my defender back on his heels and drilled a shot right over him. showed good hustle...hit the dirt for a couple loose balls, tracked down a couple wild passes and rebounds, threw a couple beauty passes, set screens....i was also playing ok defense. i rotated over, or dropped down to double a guy and ruined a couple shots...anyway, i had just stepped down to help cuz andrew had gotten caught on a screen, had a clean block on this guys shot, but we landed awkwardly, legs kinda tangled up. my left knee (formerly known as "my good knee") torqued...i think it seperated a little maybe, or bent sideways the littlest bit....needless to say i went down in a lot of pain. it was totally flukey. just bad luck how it happened. oh well. i went to the hospital today, got it xrayed. no permanent damage, but some stretched ligaments, inflamed joint, swelling...might not be able to play basketball for the whole week!!! it was a little funny cuz the guys on my team didn't at first realize i was hurt. "you went down pretty hard, but you often go down pretty hard - it's just the way you play...". and it was only 10 minutes into the game. unfortunately, with me out the guys did their best but then we were too shorthanded (no subs for the next 30 minutes), and the other team started to pull away late in the second half. sigh.
so that's the bad noose.
the good gnus - sarah got a job! at the Queen of Tarts!! woo-hoo!!! unfortunately she'll have to work weekends all summer, and her weekday shifts are 3-7pm, so we'll see a bit less of each other too. good job though and they're gonna pay her pretty well.
actually she's gonna be making more than me again...not really bitter about that...
