Injury!

Being injured is tough, I find myself watching my team practice for hours and not being able to participate. I'm dying to get on the field but my body won't let me. my injury challenges me daily mentally and physically. People treat me different than when I'm without a boot, people treat me as if I was a newborn child and try to patronize me as if their pity makes my day any better. It doesn't help that this big boot is the most unattractive thing I've laid my eyes upon but thats the least of my problems. My injury is temporary(thank god) so I just have to go through it and when i come back work ten times as hard.
