Playing Hurt

Throughout the sports world there are stories of participants playing hurt. A new story came to us recently. Anna was thrown off her horse last Friday during a practice session. She went full summersalt and landed on her back and experience some pain. On Saturday she went with the Endicott Equestrian Team to their show in Middlebury, VT and rode in the show. She took 1st place in her class. As the day went on she was hurting and Sunday night went to the hospital emergency room where she had xrays. Turns out she has a fractured bone in her back at something called T-12. She will be fine but she is pretty limited in what she can do. Don't know aboout you but I can't imagine bouncing up and down on a horse with a fractured bone in my back... ouch!

Maybe if they paid her millions and millions a year she'd learn to NEVER play in pain. Not worth the risk foe millions they say.
