Here I am, with something so significant to write on my diary and I couldn’t find a single writing implement within my reach. While I was giving my control file some attention over a cup of coffee, inspiration just struck me. And I just have to seize this moment…come what may.
I was in my element on the field today. I exhibited the same surge of energy as I had last Tuesday…doing a lot of running across, up and down the field that time flew so fast. What fired me up all the more was the fact I made a “nice” (for lack of a better adjective to use) goal with a long ground pass from Judah earlier and a good assist that had Doli make her first goal too. But what happened to me next was totally unexpected albeit inevitable in the sport.
My last recollection was that I saw the ball coming towards me that called for a left kick. I went for it but lost my footing. My world suddenly skidded to a stop when I heard the familiar sickening crunch of my left ankle as my left foot folded inwards and supported my weight. As in, time went to a standstill and I found myself lying on the ground face up, left arm covering my eye, my left leg folded over my right. “Blinding pain” best described how I felt and my upper limbs felt numb for a moment. I couldn’t remember who helped me up and guided me to the sidelines. Whoever you are, thanks a bunch!
Oh, the price that we have to pay for the love of the game!!!
