Unit 35. The Injury.
I've just returned from the doctor's office, and he told me that because of my injury,
I will have to miss the next two weeks of basketball. I'm really disappointed.
Last night, I hurt my ankle during a very exciting game against West High School.
It was five minutes before the end of the game. The score was 60 to 60.
I had the ball, and I heard my coach shouting at me to shoot.
So I started to jump, but suddenly I found myself lying flat on my back on the court.
A West High player had accidentally knocked me down.
I tried to stand up, but my ankle hurt so much that I was unable to walk.
Two of my teammates had to help me leave the court.
My ankle started to swell up, so the team doctor brought me a bag of ice to put on it.
The ice was cold, but it felt good on my ankle.
When the swelling on my ankle reduced a little,
my coach asked the doctor if he thought I would be able to play anymore.
But the doctor replied that I would have to sit out the rest of the game and come to see him the next day.
Not only did I receive an injury, but we also lost the game by a score of 68 to 66.
What a disappointing night!
