Tonight, Jeremy organised for a few of the lads from work to play an informal game of indoor soccer. Being mad keen on team sports, I was… well, mad keen to play! So we all headed down to 49th in the pouring rain and did our thing.
It was fantastic fun! We got a good turn out of eight people, and since the court was a bit smaller than I had thought it would be, four people aside was just about the right number.
Well, everything was going great until about 10 minutes from the end, I took a sharp turn, and rolled my right-ankle. I swear I heard a cracking sound, but I know it’s not broken because I can still put weight on it… though just barely!
Now my ankle is a bit bigger than a golf ball, and I suspect there’ll be some bruising to follow. Looks like it’s off to the physio for me tomorrow! (But of course, because of the crazy medical system over here, I can’t actually go to a physio; instead, I have to go to the doctor’s first so I can get a referral for a physio. I can imagine how that will go – “Hmm… well Mr Thomas, it seems you have a swollen ankle and will need some physiotherapy”. Well, duh!!)

At least it wasn’t a nipple injury!!!!!!
Indoor soccer is apparently one of the most injury prone sports for participants. Lots of high impact at sharp speeds, but lots of fun as well.
I have never heard of anyone rolling their nipple whilst playing indoor soccer… some game!
Hahaha… actually the story is that we were talking to Louise (Jason’s fiancee) on Skype, and she was on speaker phone… she said, “I’ve got a netball injury” but Kristy, Jo and I all heard, “I’ve got a nipple injury”!
That one went straight to the pool room
Oh no Gerrod, there’s nothing worse than an ankle injury in a city where you have to walk everywhere! Hope it heals quickly for you!
