“Are you kidding me!” I think to myself. The way I am running alarms my coach that I am still in pain. He then subs me back out. I text my mom and we go to the Emergency Room after the game. The wait was unbearable. My mom and I went to the emergency room at around 6pm and we didn’t even get called down until 10pm. My mom was furious.
