First Softball Game

I went out to play in my first softball game and in my second at bat I hit a line drive to the shortstop.  It was right in his glove.  So I stopped running.  Then I noticed that he dropped the ball.  So I started running again but I was off balance.  All the way to first base I was saying to myself "I'm going to fall, I'm going to fall".  I couldn't get my legs underneath me and I was leaning too far forward.  I made it to first base and was out but then I took a header.  I landed on my left shoulder and the left side of my head.  I tried to get up and fell down again.  I had bent my glasses all out of place and scratched my face and bruised my shoulder and strained the muscles in my neck but I continued playing and finished the game.  Then I came home and took two Advils.  Barb said I should have only taken one Advil because they are double strength.  I was sore for weeks but fortunately we had the next week off because of Thanksgiving and I could recuperate.
