We have been playing on a soccer team here with the embassy. Nothing too formal (ie we never practice and only some of us have matching shirts) but we have real matches with referees etc. We have been working out a couple of days a week and I was starting to feel better and stronger. Wednesday after my Spanish class there was a group of guys playing 5 v 5 on a small field on the embassy grounds and they let me kick around with them. I did pretty well.... even scored the final goal. So I was feeling pretty good about soccer in general. On Sat. we had to start the game 2 men down and they scored two quick goals. As I got warmed up I was feeling more aggressive and started playing tougher. I even did a couple of slide tackles which I never do. About 1/2 way through the second half I took a bad step on the field... which is really long, soft, and uneven. I didn't feel anything wrong and kept playing until I went to run someone down and my knee was killing me. I think I bruised or tore my meniscus in my right knee. It seems to run in my family but I am still very depressed about it. I hope it heals quickly.
