Well, I decided to end the soccer season in style. In this case, it means breaking my ankle. Real convenient considering I have to move next week, which includes loading trucks, driving to Colorado. Two things which will not be very easy for me. It sounds like I will be pretty much worthless for the next 4 to 6 weeks.
This is how it went down. We had no subs and and were down 4-0 after the 1st half. The ref must have been friends with the other team because he never called anything our way. In the 2nd half I was mad and went on a 4 goal rampage and tied the game 4-4. They decided they didn't like that too much and their 230 pound fullback decided to take me out. I am not sure exactly what happened, but he hit me and I got caught up and my ankle rolled. It hurt pretty bad. We ended up losing the game in overtime as we were playing a man down at that time.
Last night after the game I was in a lot of pain and couldn't sleep all night. I stayed awake pretty much all night and watched crappy movies to keep me entertained. I was hoping for the best when I went to the doctor, but after x-rays, it was confirmed to be a broken ankle. I will be getting a cast on Wednesday. I am hoping I will be able to walk on it. We'll see. I am now officially considering retirement. The only problem with that is Marco wants me to join his indoor team in Colorado.
