Well folks, I am officially on the 15 day DL. I have a possibly broken toe from, uh, not even sure what.... A sprained wrist from a collision at 2nd base in last Thursday night's softball game and a re-inflamed sternum after my dive into home plate at the Round Rock Express game. No joke.
The chest injury started a while back and never really went away when I didn't take my meds from the doctor to Costa Rica. And after a friendly bet with my sisters yesterday at the minor league baseball game, I ran the bases (we all did) and dove into home while my mama filmed from the stands. When I got up and dusted off my t-shirt and skirt... yes, a skirt... I could feel my chest bone screaming for more anti-inflammatory meds.
The wrist injury occurred when I took a throw from the outfield at second base when a drunk, good'ol boy was trying to stretch his single into a double. At the last minute he decided to slide, but instead did a sort of Chuck Norris roundhouse kick to my glove. I let out a few choice words, but sucked it up when it was time to bat again. I managed to rip a single up the middle, but the vibrations literally rattled my bones. Fail. Not only did we lose, but I have spent the days since walking around with one man hand. Sexy.
Finally is the random toe injury. I'm not sure where this one came from. I woke up this morning and put on some of my higher heels, I took a few steps through my bedroom, and a sharp pain shot up through my foot. I took the heels off and saw the black and blue little toe on my left foot, that's when I decided my silver flats would be a smarter choice than the heels. But all day those have not been any comfort to the poor little toe. Oh well.
It's back to the gym, on the elliptical. No impact, little upper body work, and no softball this week. I'll reassess the injuries next week and make a new plan for healing... until then....
xoxo Sara Marie
