Thanks Mike. My super didn't want me to work last night and similarly said, "I need you for bigger games in a couple of weeks." Single games as opposed to DHs, too.

Talked with my partner from last night. He said the GV game had 40+ fouls and the BV was a 40+ blowout.

I have a DH Friday night and another Saturday afternoon. Probably gonna turn them back, too. As stubborn as I am, I know it's the best thing to do. That'll give me a week's rest.

Far too often, we take good health for granted. I know I've been very fortunate.

May you heal as quickly as possible and get back to doing what you enjoy!

Sorry to hear this, Tony. As hard as it is, rest now so you can do games later. Give it a couple of days. Rest and heal!

Heal up soon Tony.

I've never had to turn games back for injuries though I should have when I had the flu last season. I have had to turn a few back due to work changing things up on me.

I turned in one in 12 seasons when I had an extreme stomach virus.

Rest up for the playoffs.

Thanks guys. I don't believe in the flu, Welpe.

I believe. The only last minute turn back I've had was for the worst flu I've ever had. Weekend AAU stuff. I've had to turn back a couple of others for changing military commitments, and a few when we moved mid-season (chopped up two seasons that way).

24 years is quite a feat alone.

Get better. The games will wait.

I sprained my MCL several years ago before I was in the officiating fraternity. It sucked. Couldn't bend my knee for a couple of weeks. Good news: time will heal it completely and it will be nothing more than a memory.

Did a sub-varsity DH on Thursday night. Left foot has been sore since Friday morning. Hoping that it gets better today. Not working until Monday at 5PM. This time of the year is when the wear and tear takes a toll on all of us.

Good luck to everyone with health and their post season assignments.

I don't either but the flu believes in me.

I worked through those games, but by the end I sounded like Mike Ness from Social Distortion.
