Ouchie, as I say to my son. "Daddy got a big ouchie playing soccer yesterday, that's why he's taking two medicine pills this morning..."
"Yeah, Daddy looks baddd this morning."
Okay, Max didn't really say that, but his serious expression as he attempted to understand my ouchie was touching, sincere... and a bit humorous.
I laughed. OUCH!
Turns out I got whiplash going up for a header and getting generally knocked around at last Sunday's outdoor soccer game. I felt fine Sunday afternoon, but Monday morning I couldn't move my neck! It was embarrassingly painful, especially when I tried to laugh. I had to lift my head off the pillow with my hands just to get to the Ibuprofen...
But, well, it's Saturday, so time to do some stretching and get ready for another whiplashin' tomorrow for my soccer game.
Yep, turns out that for Soccer, I'll go to (relatively) great lengths to ensure I'm fit enough to at least play. Generally, I'll be in pain, but once warming up the muscles I'm okay to play for 90 minutes, then it's back to icing down and popping pills.
Hmmm, maybe I really AM into this soccer thing. They should put together, like, a professional league or something... :-)
Major League Soccer. Who knew?
Well, I did, of course... BilFish's Rapids' photos webpage. I'd link you to the Colorado Rapids website, but it's not up. Almost as embarrassing as the whiplash.
