I know this might not be a big deal to most, but last night was my return to dodgeball using my reconstructed right elbow!
Not only was I able to throw for the first time in 6 months, but I threw pretty damn well all things considering.
All my throws were tight and low, with many having some late movement on them. None were caught and a couple resulted in the few pegs. I’m not sure it could have gone much better for my first attempt at returning.
I only played in 2 matches to ease my arm back into form. Even though it was only 2 matches, both involved a lot of throwing and wow am I sore as a result. Last night I was a bit concerned that the soreness could be something more serious, but while still very sore I think it’s gone down a bit today. Hopefully it’s just soreness and I’ll be fine in a day or so.
The only real drawback on the night was that we lost the game! But, we did play a lot better than the previous week, so I’m hoping we can get some wins soon!
I still don’t think we’re playing up to our potential as a team just yet.
