sprained ankles and funny knees

My newfound interest in tennis has brought a little disaster on my right ankle today. See, I was attempting to retrieve a loop ball shot which had climbed to a visually uncomfortable height. As I raised my Prince Hybrid to my ideal engagement height, I stepped towards the right to hit the shot, 'Kluck' came a sound and I twisted my ankle.

I made a conscious decision to stay low profile at the bleachers after my ankle was twisted as it threw the entire tennis court into an ad hoc 'child-care centre' with well meaning players enquiring on my well being. But honestly, I have had ankle sprains before, so there's nothing new.

Now the problem I may face, is my inability to join my virigin attempt at a biathlon in four days. My right ankle now forces me to lean on my left leg, where my left knee cap was seemingly protesting because it clicks rather often.

A minor injury in the body paralyzes a person. Once again, I understand this infamous quote.
