Mad Skills

I love roller derby. I love the rush you get when you prevent someone from getting past you and when you take someone out. I do NOT, however, love my broken leg.

Last night at practice we ran a drill and it went exactly the way it was supposed to... until 3 of us were in a pile up and I realized my foot was on backwards. I banged on the floor, screamed, and then succumbed to what had happened to me. Throwing a fit wasn't going to fix my ankle - I have health insurance (not great health insurance, but it's better than nothing) and I can muster up a good attitude to go along side it; so that's what I did.

When the paramedics showed up the girls voiced my plea not to cut off my skate - I JUST got them, last thing I wanted was to have to go through the process of getting skates all over again. Thankfully the paramedics obliged and once the skate came off my ankle popped back in place.

But the damage was done. I have a broken fibula and ankle. I'll have surgery in a couple of days to have a plate and screws inserted.

I will do EVERYTHING that the doctors tell me so that I can get back on the track ASAP.

A little injury isn't keeping me away from derby - I love it way too much!
