Holey crap, I’m sore.
But it’s a good sore. A ‘I did
something’ sore.
I went and saw a specialist at the CU Sports Medicine
department, and after a couple of examinations, being twisted like a pretzel, x-rays and more
twisting- it was deemed that I only had
a really bad strain on the cluster of muscles that sit in under the stomach and
above the thigh. I’m going to start some
PT soon. But after three weeks off, I was
feeling pain free and decided to play last night. It was great to be back!
We played Here For Beer. I missed the last game we played them. It was a fun, tough game all around, and we
got the victory again 3-1.
I played somewhat tenuously- always a little afraid of re-injuring
myself, and I’m also really out of shape and practice. I felt like I was nearly starting over. I need to sharpen my skates too. That being said, I did help out and nearly
had a couple of goals. I say nearly… The first was an incredible pass from Jim
that landed right on my tape while I was to the far right of the net. I shot it just wide of the goal. A better shot and it would have gone in,
since the goalie and the Here For Beer defense was wholly focused on the
left. The other goal was a knock in of a
puck just sitting on the goal line. The
Left Winger got there a skosh before I did and got it done. I made a couple defensive gaffs, but nothing
that allowed them to score.
Again, the guys I go out with after the game suited up for
Free Birds, so I went home, and now I’m feeling all the soreness that I’d
gotten used to. It feels great!
