Healing tape...

Injuries suck. Not only do the hurt then but they take you out of commission for a period of time after too. I would rather have an injury be 10 times more painful when it happens (don't worry, if it would be incredibly painfull you'll just pass out) than have it affect me for 10 days after. It looks like I may have one of those injuries now. Last night I rolled my ankle playing volleyball at the U. It's the third time in the last month and I think that there's a reason it's becoming more frequent. The ligaments get stretched and take a while to tighten up again (confirmed by my dad) so basically my ankle is loose. It'll take about 6 weeks to heal properly but I don't have 6 weeks. In fact my next volleyball game is tonight. I just can't bring myself to sit out when it seems so minor...I've never had a bad injury that has put me out of anything. So tonight I think I'm going to learn how to use the "healing tape". You know, that white stuff you see all the varsity athletes wearing daily. I hope hockey stick tape is a suitable substitute.

I don't really know the technique but I did a bit in high school and I'm sure with that and my great engineering skills I can come up with something. I know which way I DON'T want it to roll. We'll see, tomorrow I may be posting asking people to come sign my cast.

Question of the Day: Have you ever had an injury put you out of action? I know Nevin has had several...but he doesn't read my blog so I'm not sure if we'll hear about them.
