A major setback to Coffs Masters Carnival on Saturday, when I injured my left ankle in a Hunter Masters intraclub game.
I've had scans on the ankle, and it looks like a ligament strain or partial tear, so 4 weeks out, which means hopefully should still be OK for the carnival.
I have to thanks the other Masters players who really made sure I was ok after the incident - carrying me off the ground, and getting ice on it straight away. Also BK and Bones for helping me get home, and to Bones for taking me off to hospital on Sunday for a scan.
I tried not to show it at the ground on Saturday, but I was fucking shattered immediately after it happened. Just knowing that all the work Bones and I had done might have been for nothing. It wasn't helped by some players saying I could still go along to the carnival and enjoy it, even though I'd be injured. And I initially thought the worst. I heard a loud pop when it happened, and thought it must have been a snapped ligament. Obviously you feel bad for the person who was responsible for the injury, because you know they didn't mean it, but it's still very shocking when it happened.
So all things considered, it's probably a best case scenario. However, I will have to work on my fitness when I can start training again, and I'll miss the Illawarra carnival, but I hope to be back for the father-and-son/daughter game in 4 weeks.

Think I may have posted on this before, but I was reading an article on the weekend, and it reminded me of the ability to use a VPN to access Pirate Bay and get content. Not sure why this is a big deal, but I think it demonstrates how badly outdated the law is, and how ineffective it is in combating users who will use any means necessary to get the content they want.
