Damaged in more than one way!!


First injury-

It was the day before the winter parade that the colorguard was performing in. Very stylishly I wore my Santa Hat so that I would have practice tossing and with it on. I tossed with the force of 100 men. The hat was nicely angled, but not in my favor for catching the flag. As the flag perfectly jammed my middle finger I started jumping up and donw yelling that my finger hurt. Of course the exact words from my coach... "ha ha ha, sorry for laughing at your pain, but you should have seen my facr." I beer through the pain!! I then glanced down at the fingers on my left hand and my middle finger was very swolen and had a nice bruis in the middle!! Right before my last colorguard performance.


Second injury-

I had coaches who placed me in the front line for colorguard because it was my last year. So I had studied really hard and knew the parade by heart, but nothing would prepare me for the obstacle a head of me!! We were on a stretch of the street, when I saw the fresh droppings of a near by horse. So I casually went to the left of the droppings, not realizing that I was walking strait onto my silk of my flag. I pulled with all my might to bring up my flag for the next move, and then there I went. Flattening myself to the road, right in front of this little family. Mortified at the time, but hiding it by laughing. I was so imbarrased that I didnt realize the pain of my wrist till after the parade to my left wrist.


So as you can tell typing this looks very interwsting, and also takes a little longer!! But be carefull for all those crazy injuries, and horse droppings!!
