he’s improving.
Brace came off Monday. limited activity (no sports or PE) for at least another week.
he’s walking on it and seems to be getting around ok.
nothing torn, just stretched the shit outta it.
about to just put him in a bubble.
since March:
right ankle officially diagnosed with Tendonitis of his Achilles 3 days before 1st game of his baseball season. didn’t fully heal until after the season.
in game 2 of baseball season, sprains his left ankle when a guy slid into him while he was trying to turn 2 at second base.
the NEXT NIGHT , gets drilled by a pitch in his still somewhat swollen left ankle.
minor groin pull in 2nd to last game of regular season thanks to his cleat not grabbing when planting causing him to do most of a split.
was unable to pitch during first half of season due to inflammation and discomfort in throwing elbow.
tweaked something in lower back jumping on trampoline about 2 months ago.
and now his left knee.
lil bastard is tough as nails though.
missed a total of 2 innings all season.
had a rough year statistically and was never 100%.
but he grinded it out and hobbled through it.
his teammate had to help him off the field the night he got hit by pitch.
he was subbed out in the field, but due to league rules, he still had to bat when his spot comes up or it’s a slot out.
well of course his spot comes up with 2 outs, down 1 in last inning.
dude told coach “we aint going down like this” and somehow carried himself to the plate on two throbbing ankles.
thought it was going to be his Kirk Gibson moment, but he lined out to the SS.
poor thing just collapsed on the basepath when it was caught. teammates had to help him through postgame handshakes.
