All the resorts in Yuma take turns hosting the tournament and this year it was Country Roads turn..wow what a lot of people enjoy this sport.
It got a bit cool in the wind,(temp was 15 today,)so we took a walk to check out what time we would be playing golf with the club on Thursday,it's usually posted by the ballroom...but it hadn't been posted yet,so we will check after Pickle Ball this evening.
I checked on our laundry and I went to the Fitness room,while Him went for a bike ride.I did 15 mins on the rower,and did some abd crunches and free weights.
Afterwards got the laundry folded into my wheely bag,which Him hooked up to his carrier spring on his bike,and rode around with it like it was a trailer....it worked good.
We had lunch and pottered around doing odd jobs,D&J showed up for Pickle Ball(cross between tennis and table tennis).The Guy's biked over while Janice and I walked.When we got to the court the guy's were already playing.As Janice and I were getting ready to step in(4 usually play the game) Him ran to get the ball his foot stuck to the court and Him went down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right onto his right cheek,arm and knee.He couldn't breathe for a bit,and I thought 'it's his ribs again'.
After a few minutes he got up with blood on his cheek,& knee,with grazes on his other knee and elbow(see pics)..............and yes he had bumped his ribs,we think he has bruised them???????????(Him said he's going to have a couple of drinks and some pain killers and go to bed right after supper!)
I thought this was a gentle sport???
We did have a go around at Pickle ball however,and there isn't as much running when there is four of you.So we got the idea of the game and I think as long as it's just us four mucking about so to speak and not with others,we should be fine.We shall see.................Popped over to see if the golf was posted yet...no it wasn't so must check tomorrow.
By this time it was 6:30 and we had supper,after cleaning the wounded solider up. I think someone is going to be stiff and achey tomorrow..................Kay and Him!
