Falling


On Sunday night i participate in a bowling league, and this Sunday was no different. I arrived to the alley not feeling 100% but I chalked it up to a long day and stress.I was holding up fairly well until the third game. I was having a great game of spares and strikes when in the middle of the game I got up to take my turn and the world caved in on me.

I remember setting myself, looking at the pins and then the arrows on the lane in preparation to throw my ball. I can recall taking my first steps then nothing. The world went black and the next thing I saw was the oily lane a mere inches from my face and the searing pain that was shooting threw me.

I don't really know what happened I felt nothing specific prior to the blackout except I just didn't feel right. My knees are black and blue, swollen and extremely sore. My wrists are sore, because I apparently threw my hands out when I fell. My right elbow aches from hitting on the lane. My back, waist and shoulders are stiff and sore from the impact. Not to mention my ego is bruised from falling in front of a bowling alley full of people I know well. Apparently I made a loud thud when I hit the lane.

Just so no one worries I will be seeing my doctor on Tuesday and discussing the event.

What really sucks is I think I was on a roll to my high game of the season.
