Sidelined
The title says exactly how I feel right now...sidelined. I'm just sitting by as things happen around me. Literally sitting. I guess I should give you the back story. Yesterday, I agreed to play ultimate football with my coworkers. I told myself I wouldn't push myself past my physical limits but once the game started, my competitive spirit took over. I wasn't the all-star but I made great contributions to my team: some great passes and some phenomenal catches (which probably seem better in my thoughts than reality)! About half way through the game, my lower back began to tighten and hurt. I moved a bit slower but I still had bursts of greatness because I knew my teammates needed me. Afterwards, my back was killing me. I could still walk, just uncomfortably. Then later at work, while sitting, my ankle just began to throb. At the end of my workday, I stood up to leave and I could not put pressure on my ankle. That is the twist in my story. It wasn't my back that sidelined me, it was my ankle. I guess I sprained it but I didn't realize it until later. So now, I'm sitting here...sidelined.

i know how you feel, i was playing baseball with my son the other day on a nice warm winter day, and almost killed myself just trying to play ball with a 5 year old...
ReplyDeleteKids have endless energy, more flexibility, and heal quicker. It's hard to understand that I once possessed all those qualities and now I don't. I guess I traded them in for wisdom.
