Call Me Gimpy

Our last bout of the season was the 19th. We lost, but it was a great game. I’m a wreck during bouts; so scared I’m going to do the wrong thing or have an asthma attack or screw up or something. I did okay, mostly, although I have to learn to be more aggressive out there. I have some skills I still need to work on, like agility and hipchecks.

Anyway, during our Friday night practice we scrimmaged without skates (“sock derby”) so that nobody would twist a knee or anything for the Saturday night bout. Unfortunately, someone stomped on my foot in the pack. I thought nothing of it other than it was a little sore.

Then, Saturday night after the afterparty, I was home taking a shower and washing off the glitter, and saw that my entire foot was bruised and swollen. So I’ve been hobbling around in a soft cast for a week and a half now, and will be getting x-rayed next week to see if it’s fractured. I missed the last two practices of the season :(  However, we’re on break for the month of December, so if I’m going to be injured, now’s the time, I suppose.

It’s been a year since I’ve joined the Jerzey Derby Brigade. I’ve been through a lot with these girls, and they’ve held me up every step of the way. I’m so lucky to have them. Can’t wait for the 2012 season.
