The Injury
We take our lives for granted to often. Everyday we get up and go through our normal every day routine. A lot of times we grumble and moan about all of the things we “have” to do throughout the day.

As his foot struck mine, I felt a pop on the inside of my foot. After the play, I went over to our trainer and had her wrap it. I finished out the game trying to keep my mind on winning the game. The rest of the night didn't go how I wished it had, however. We ended up losing to CAK by a score of 14-28. I was disappointed, but I was looking forward to beginning playoffs. The next day I woke up with an excruciating pain in my foot. I thought it was just a deep
