Hurt

So it happened again on Saturday. I was playing soccer and I was kicked. Outright kicked, not even close to the ball in the upper left thigh, inches from where I hurt myself two years ago. I had learnt from last time and immediately laid down and got ice on it. No stretching and 'trying to run it off' this time.

When I got home I took some drugs and iced it for a couple hours and now 2 days later it's doing ok. Sunday was the hardest when I had to stumble down to the phamarcy to get some more drugs (no one was available to help me, and I didn't want to wait too long), but I'm now moving reasonably well. I think right now, 2 days after the accident, I'm about where I was 2 months into it last time, where a day = a month. I'm hopeful to be able to start running again on Saturday, but I'm going to have to take a break from soccer for several more weeks.

Being hurt is just so depressing though. Nothing worse than sitting there waiting for something to get better...
