B : I’ve just returned from the doctor’s office,
and he told me that because of my injury I will
have to miss the next two weeks of basketball.
I’m really disappointed! Last night, I hurt my
ankle during a very exciting game against West
High School. It was five minutes before the end of
the game, the score was 60-60, I had the ball, and
I heard my coach shouting at me to shoot.
So I started to jump, but suddenly I found
myself lying flat on my back on the court! A
West High player had accidentally knocked me
down. I tried to stand up, but my ankle hurt so
much that I was unable to walk. Two of my
teammates had to help me leave the court. My
ankle started to swell up, so the team doctor
brought me a bag of ice to put on it. The ice was
cold, but it felt good on my ankle.
When the swelling on my ankle reduced a little,
my coach asked the doctor if he thought I would
be able to play any more. But the doctor replied
that I would have to sit out the rest of the game
and come to see him the next day. Not only did
I receive an injury, but we also lost the game by
a score of 68-66. What a disappointing night!
