A Day I Wish I Could Change

If I could go back in time I would do many things and one of them would defiantly be a day that I had that I can now relive. That day would probably be the day I broke my finger, I have never experienced as much pain as I did that day. It was a day I will never forget. I was at football practice and we were doing a db drill. The ball was thrown high into the air and I jumped as high as I could when all of a sudden a miss timed it and the ball was smashed into my finger. Now I know a football probably is not capable of breaking a person’s finger but one if gets hit really hard by a football and ends up landing hard on a person’s helmet. I was on the ground for a while until a friend helped me get back up, the trainer told me to just put ice on it. Then later on that day I was experiencing very bad pain, to the point where I told my parents to take me to the doctor. When the doctor took an ex ray he realized that this pain was not caused by a jam finger but it was caused by a broken finger. At the time I was a little shocked because I did not expect that something like that would cause my finger to get broken, but it did. The doc told me I was going to be out for weeks so get plenty of rest. But it later on made sense to me because as much pain as I was in it had to been caused by something like a broken finger. Sometimes I really wish I could go back and change that. And what I would have done is to just swat the ball away instead of going up and trying to pick it off. Maybe that would have changed everything and not have caused me to miss weeks of football. And if I was able to prevent that injury then I wouldn’t have went through all of that pain, and this was not just pain this was something more than pain I mean excruciating pain, Pain you don’t want to experience. And if I could have gone back and changed that then I probably still wouldn’t have thumb pains today. But fact of the matter I can’t go back and change that.
