I am not the Softball type - it appears...

OK, so I really like to play softball - for many reasons. These include...getting to do something really quality with my husband that he enjoys doing way alot...seeing all of the great people at KeyLogic...getting some form of exercise...being on a team...etc. There are some things I don't like so much about playing softball - these include...I SUCK...I am untalented when it comes to almost anything sport related...I am clumsy even without high speeds...etc.

Now, why did we go through that? Because I am such a dork. What could be the most embarrassing thing ever? How about this...I am up to bat, runners on other bases (see how nonsoftballesc that was?), and two outs. Then there is me - the team says "just hit the ball and run fast." I jokingly tell the catcher "yeah, right, you see that happening right?" And then I do actually hit the ball and I really could have made it to first base this time - IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY FACE PLANT BETWEEN THE BASES!!!!!! Oh-mi-gawd - HOW EMBARRASSING? I am not even sure what happened. I was running and then I was in the dirt. My left knee felt a little funny - like it gave out on me (result of other clumsy ice related fall) - and now my right leg hurts like nothing. I have been trying to be a "big girl" about the situation, but I am so a baby. I finally decided that I would go to the doctor today even though this happened Fri. evening. It hurts worse than any bruise ever.

So, as it turns out, I have a hematoma. Nothing is broken - a good thing - my leg still hurts like a mother - a bad thing. And the even worse news...it will hurt worse before it hurts less. My boss plays softball and she says this is quiet a nasty injury. And that my leg will get hard and hot and black and bluer and green and red and maybe purple.

So, the diagnosis...work from home...keep phone on...pray that the blood drives come in (that might make the pain go away...or at least the headache...heat and cold - heat and cold - heat and cold - VIAPROFEN - keep leg elevated.

In unrelated news - there is a web site out there and I recommend everyone checking it out. Go to tomcruiseisnuts.com. IT IS SO FUNNY!

Now, off to bed for me. I am old, hurt, cranky, and feel sorry for my husband. He is still so young and fun. I am just old and crabby. Poor TJ...good thing he still loves me. :)

Later!
