I have been on the sofa nursing my first athletic injury. I know it's hard to believe that a person in her late thirties hasn't sustained a sports related injury before this, but it's true. Maybe if I had ever been genuinely athletic prior to now it would have happened sooner. However, spraining my ankle while doing cartwheels in the house at the age of nine was as close as I ever came. No worries, I'm going to be alright. I am icing my achy shoulder and following a strict caffeine and painkiller regimen. I am going to have to refrain from playing this for awhile though...
It was the tennis match to end all tennis matches that brought me to my current supine spot. What started out as an innocent best of five match spiraled out of control into a three hour sports fest which added bowling and baseball along the way. While I naturally had enough carbs in my system for this impromptu marathon, I definitely should have been more hydrated. Ooh, and STRETCHING would have been a first rate idea too. If I had stretched then maybe I would not be soooo sore. But alas, I did not. And this little piggy cried, "Wii, Wii, Wii!" all the way home.

OMG! That is too funny....sorry, but it is. I've heard of several injuries like this on the news....I'm sure some jerk will sue eventually...don't you?
LOL LOL LOL! I have a Wii and can understand, I got the Wii Fit for the sole purpose of hula hooping, because I am that cool. I can't because of my bad foot, although it has taught me to love stepping. We shall persevere and show that Wii.
Bad Wii!!! lol I also have problems with my Wii! lol I can't play any games that have a lot of movement. lol Cars and Shrek make me dizzy and just sick. I can't even watch the kids play them! lol
You take care!

I fractured my heel BOWLING last summer. I got a strike, started jumping up and down, and BOOM. The doctors in the ER laughed hysterically.
We should just stick to crafty endeavors...
