5/30/09: Down Day in Grand Island, Nebraska

The highlight of my day today was playing basketball in Grand Island. Sean Waugh, Brian Baker, Matt Koerner, Brandon McClung, Daniel Betten and I played on a court on the north side of town. We were all pretty out of shape, so the game went pretty slowly. Unfortunately, I got injured: let me explain.

I was a little out of position to guard Sean, and he cut to the basket on the right side. He looked as if he were going to go up for a shot, so I jumped. Well, he pumped faked as I went up high. Then, as I was coming back down he went up as I landed on his back. The torque of the collision sent me spinning backwards. I fell probably four feet to the asphalt beneath. I hit my rear end, both my hands, and my right elbow. Fortunately, the cuts I received were relatively superficial, but it looks pretty nasty. I tell you, I need to stop getting hurt!
