There were 4 minutes left in the second quarter. It became halftime (and it lasted about 20 minutes) and they called in a replacement that did a good job considering he came in cold. I watched from the end of the visitors' bench (a bleacher) with my leg propped up.
Afterwards, I spent a while in the emergency room and am on some nice narcotics now. I figure I'll be basketball free for at least 2 weeks unless something's really damaged and I don't know it yet. |
Aw geeze, Rich.
Let's hope that it's a very slight twist and you're back in there real soon.
You'd go crazy if you couldn't do a game for while- any sport. I know you. You're an officiating junkie, just like a lot of other officials.
Get well quickly.
