Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Now before you all get worked up and start trying to send me flowers or something, I'm okay...for the most part.

Most of you don't know, but I recently returned to track and field to throw discus and shotput. We had a meet today, and I hurt myself when I threw my third discus. I was taken to a hospital (full body board and neck brace), where they said all that appears to have happened is that I pulled a muscle in the back of my head/neck. For this, I can't do anything too strenuous. For that reason, I have decided to limit the amout of activities I do for a few days. What does this mean?

Well, I might be getting on to help around the guilds I'm in a little less for a couple of days. I'm currently on some pain medication, but that doesn't seem to be helping - and supposedly it'll be worse tomorrow.

So I just want to inform you all, so you'll be aware of why I'm not chiming in when I usually do. But I felt like I should let you all know.

Edit: Well, after two days back, I found out what happened after I left:
The coach came back and told every "She broke her neck, but she's OKAY." xd Yeah. Seriously.
Two of my friends thought I died. Thanks. Love you too.
Actually, they're not the only ones, the calculations came out to this:
- 1/4 thinks/thought I died
- 1/2 think I broke my neck
- 1/4 know that I pulled a neck muscle because of told them.

Ah...I love you track people. I shall rejoin you on Tuesday.

Another edit: My first day back was officially today. One of the girls was surprised I went back to throwing discus, saying "I wouldn't do it again after getting injured like that." "Well...I'm scared now, but, it's just something I have to get over."

I'll be competing Saturday, though I think it's only for one reason: doubles, which requires two girls. We only HAVE two girls including myself. xd heart
