I'm not sure what to blame it on... My age, my lack of being in shape... Whichever it is, I haven't ever felt the pain I am in late this evening.
We had our scheduled game of softball this afternoon near University Park again. I was really looking forward to playing today. I was anxious at work all day to get out, swing the bat, and play some ball.
Apparently, my legs had other plans.
After my first at-bat, I felt what I thought was just some minor cramping in my upper legs and seemed to overcome most of it in the field. My second at-bat, didn't fare so well. I came immediately out of the Batter's Box with excruciating pain in the upper portion of my right leg and nearly collapsed by the time I got to 1st base. I knew something was wrong almost immediately cause I had never in my life felt anything this bad. After slowly returning to the bench and consorting with my fellow teammates, the general consensus was that it was something with my right quad.
I'm not sure what exactly happened, but from what I explained and what some of the other guys concurred with was that it was likely a strained quad and later this evening Shaw tried to scare the bejesus out of me and mentioned it could be a minor tear. I sure hope it isn't, because if that's indeed the case, I'll likely be in some pain for several days.
I've pulled muscles, sprained ankles and even injured a knee and this is still the worst pain I've felt in any sort of muscle injury.
I took a couple of Advil PM and have an ice pack on it right now and I'm hoping this will help heal things somewhat over the next few days.
Otherwise, life has been going fairly well, I guess. There are aspects that could be much better, but I'm leaving one of these, in particular open right now. If you know anything about me, you probably know exactly what I'm referring to.
The relationship front, of course... KF and I finally agreed to be just friends the other day and I think finally, this will stick. I think I wanted things to work out between us but we were both realizing that the chemistry just wasn't there. We were both a little naive, I think, in overlooking the signs that kept pointing us in different directions.
It works out in way, because I have had a few options that I have wanted to keep open lately. I'm not sure where either of these are going to go, but the one seems to be interested in me, so we'll have to let things happen naturally and see where it goes.
I'll certainly keep everyone updated on how things proceed. It's very early in the "process," so to speak, so it's really hard to tell right now.
Anyhow, hope everyone is doing well and hopefully your legs are still under yourselves, unlike me! :)
Later gator!
