My friend, Tami (left in picture), was at our house for our send off for the Daily's. The kids all got together after swimming and decided we needed to have a big family kickball game. So we agreed. Tami, however, wasn't real sure she wanted to play and we told her she couldn't be a sissy and she had to play. Well, she is from Texas and you don't "accuse" a Texan of being a sissy so that was all it took for her to play :) I know this from being around her all the time. So about half way into the game, she hobbles to first base "because" she busted a blood vessel in the top of her foot from kicking the ball. Now, this comes after she is kicking it as hard as she can "because" she is from Texas and everything is bigger there!! So her foot is bruising ... we tell her to stop being a sissy. So she sucks it up and continues to play. God, I just love her to pieces; she really cracks me up! So after her next time kicking, she is going to get thrown out on third base, but not if she hurries! Well, she yells and hobbles and ends up hobbling to a chair and told us she felt something pop and rip in her foot.....sissy. She quits......at this point, I did think she was hurt but we couldn't just let her be a whiny pants so she refereed the game. The next morning, she couldn't walk. She goes to the doctor to find out that she may have a hairline fracture and has ripped all the ligaments and tendons on the underside of her foot and has to wear a soft cast and boot for three weeks and then return to see if anything else has to be done!!!! Can you believe it? Of course, being from Texas, everything has to be done on a big scale --- not like she couldn't have just stubbed her piggy toe .... NOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOO......let's just cut the whole foot off!!! I say this with the utmost affection and love for her :) I felt horrible and the reality is our minds are younger than our bodies and at some point, we are all pushing 40 and going to have to face that we can't do what we could in our 20's!!!! BOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!
