Have you been run over by elmo?

If you haven't in the past, lucky you. Yesterday a bunch of people went to play frisbee. At some point of the game, my team mate elmo and I ran to catch the frisbee and I was unlucky to accidentally be hit by his knee on my right quadricep. Clearly James on evil_elmo mode.


elmo and me, during the happy days before the incident

At first I thought it was ok, but a few minutes later I had to stop playing because the pain was getting worse. When I went back to HUT, Beowulf and the other Spanish crowd would start saying I was acting and I was a "nenaza", but the truth is that during the night, whenever I moved my leg slightly, I would be awaken by pain.

As I expected that the pain would be gone today, and it's actually worse, I have looked into getting someone who knows a bit of these injuries a look at my leg. I have no bruise or any mark where the impact happened, so I fear my muscle is fucked up in some way as only walking short distances is difficult and painful. My mother, who is a nurse, told me to buy some paracetamol. I considered going to a hospital, but I don't have my medical insurance papers so I'll try to look for alternatives before that.

I guess this will end up in someone saying "it'll get better in a few days", but it's the first time I get such an intense pain like this one in a very localised muscle, so I'd better take care before I get back to València. This sucks, I wanted to go running during the week. I hope I can still swim in the evenings... I'll find out soon.

Nen, vigila la teva cama!!

espere que et recuperes pronte perque has de fer el triatló d' Antella.

Sort.
