Injured!

I was volleying tennis with Niel at around 7am. Later, his little bro came around and then his father too. The two were played doubles with some who were ahead of us. As they were done (they won), Neil's father said that we play doubles too. Neil was with his younger bro and I with his father. They promised that they give us a zero score. Indeed, it was like going into that direction because with us serving first, they broke points and got the first score. But we gained momentum at once, and tied with them 1-1. I struggled a lot with my partner and our opponents were nailed at 1 as we already won 5 game points. I was on the net as we were heading for the sixth point when a hard ball from Karl (Neil's bro) was about to land at the edge of our court. The ball was over head and I thought I was responsible to have it returned. I jumped up and successfully smashed it back to the opposite court, at the expense of my right foot - it landed angled and I felt like I had my bones removed off my foot as it dropped on the hard court. I sat down and examined my injury and I thought it wasn't that severe. I even told them that we could continue. But Neil's father would want us to go home for my sprain could get even worse.

This afternoon, I had my ankle "hilot" (reflexed?) by Nang Marina. The pain during the process was even more, but my foot got felt better after a while.

This evening, I attended a recollection at St. Joseph's Cathedral with Bishop Joy Tonel as the speaker. It was worth attending and after it, I even felt even much better.
