Basketball blues...

Each week, Jes plays basketball on Thursday nights at the church from about 9:30-midnight. Each week, he usually comes home very tired and sore. A few weeks ago he had a large bruise around his eye (luckily it didn't turn into a black eye) for a few days. A few months ago, he hurt his finger (tore ligaments according to the hand specialist). He still can barely use that finger. He hurt his shoulder a while ago and usually limps for about a day after the game.
Last Thursday...he crawled from the car to the house, hopped down the hall, woke me up, and said he needed some help.
This is what I saw...


His foot is usually not this big or this blue..
He had twisted or sprained or done something to his ankle. It swelled up and bruised and he couldn't walk on it very well for a day or two. It's now been almost a week and he still limps somewhat but says it's back to 80% functionality. He plans on playing basketball on Thursday again, against my advice.
So even though he hurt his shoulder, hurt his finger, and now hurt his ankle, he says he goes for his health!!! He blames the longevity of the injuries on the fact he's turning 30 next month...

Give it up, Jess. Just realize when you're 30 (or pretty much almost there) you should stop pretending like you're 20-something and go play old man sports like golf or bowling, or cricket! (totally joking, but how'd you like my trash talking, or trash typing for that matter?)
