P.E Injury

Oh great. I'm injured. My left hand twisted while I was about to do my second cartwheel...Now my arm is in pain. But it's tolerable. So here's what had happened.

I am always the first one to try the gymnastics for I am the first person in line. My first cartwheel turned out to be great! But then my second cartwheel? NOT SO GOOD. I was standing in front of the "foam-bed" ready to have my second one. As I put my hands down and throw my body up, my foot that I used to push my body, slipped along with the foam. Sadly, the happening was too fast. I wasn't able to regain my balance and I slipped, leaving my left hand grounded for balance and my right hand swung up as an initial reaction of shock or adrenaline rush. Then I was able to feel my left arm twist and I made a face. I stood up to soothe my arm. I tried rubbing it and shaking it a little. I even tried to stop moving and tell my mind not to think about the pain. It didn't work. Our teacher told me to try again. I was telling myself I can do it. But my hand would not respond positively. The pain is there. I told my teacher that my arm hurts and I'll try again later. He asked me if I'm okay and I nodded. he told me to shake my arm. I nodded again and went to the side. A classmate of mine asked me what's wrong. I told him that my arm hurts. He thought it was my hand which hurts so he gave me advice on how to soothe it. I told him again that it was my arm not my hand which hurts. He just smiled and said  "oh" as he made that rubbing gesture again and returned to the other classmate of ours to talk. Then I was set again. I tried again. As I start my cartwheel again,my blood started to pound and my heart beat raced. Finally I was able to do my second cartwheel. It's not GOOD. It has flaws. And the pain in my left arm was back. And that's when I concluded. I'm injured. But I can do this. It will heal. As they say, "no pain...no game". 


As for now, the pain is a little bit gone. But then I feel nervous now. Damn. That flaw in my second cartwheel did a damage to me. It made me feel nervous. But I can do it. I'm not giving up. Tsk. This stupid injury must stop or else...or else...I don't know. It better be gone. ;)
