My Fight with the Tennis Court

What Happened:

I fell while we were playing tennis.

How it Happened:

I was going for a back hand, apparently, I missed the ball and twisted around and ate it!

Why it Happened:

????????

The Story:

For my birthday, Rich gave me a tennis racket so we have been trying to get to the community courts down the street at least once a week.  So we went over to the tennis courts on Saturday to play for a bit before our date night!  We got there and all of the courts were taken so we decided to wait for a bit and see if anything opened up. 

So, finally a court opened up and we ran over and snatched it up. We were playing for maybe 5 minutes and Rich hit me a back hand, and I went to hit it, even though it was out, and I did a huge wind up, missed the ball and tripped over myself and landed with a huge smack on the ground scraping up my back, elbow, hip and knee.

I laughed it off - fortunately I was wearing sun glasses because my laughter turned into tears :-( because it hurt! We played for a little bit longer and then I had to stop because my elbow was hurting and it happened that I landed on my hurt knee (the knee that I hurt on our honeymoon) so I was limping around the court.

I landed right on the bone and so I am now limping all around!! It is no good!

Fortunately, I am a lucky gal with a great husband who takes good care of me!

We went on our date night out to dinner at Bucca Di Beppo {we had a gift card - love having gift cards!} and saw Moneyball - I definitely recommend this movie! And from growing up an Oakland A's fan, it was awesome to watch!

Fortunately there was a cherry on top of the accident!
