I may have broke my tailbone today, crap!

Tonight my basketball team was in the quarterfinals of the BYU Idaho competitive league tournament! We had a really good team and a good shot to win it all, but we lost and were out now. It is a big disappointment that we lost, but an even bigger bummer that I may have broke my tailbone.

There was 1:00 left in the game and we were down by six. I had the ball at the three point line and saw an opening to the basket! I took it! The defender was close so I crossed him over, blew by him and took it to the basket. I was wide open and jumped as high as I could to lay it in. My fingers were about as high as the rim. As I laid it in a player on the other team undercut me or as most people call it he cheap-shoted me. He took out my legs and from about five feet in the air I landed straight on my tailbone, and luckily not my back or my neck. My teammates said my whole body was shaking for five minutes. I was laying on my stomach screaming in agony. AHHHH! AHHHH! AHHHH! Over and over again. At least I made the basket and brought my team within four. I couldn't shoot the foul shot, so coach put someone else in. He hit it and brought us within three and thats what we lost by. It was so hard laying on the sideline by our bench, knowing if i didn't get injured I could of been our there with my team trying to come back and win.

It was funny the person that brought me a bag full of ice asked "Where do you want me to put this? I turned over and laid on my stomach and said "put it on my butt." Everyone was laughing, but I wasn't cause I was in pain. It was a funny sight though.

Just remember when your around please don't slap my butt or tackle me or throw things at my butt, Ect. If you do beware... because I will hurt you and it wont be pretty!
