Getting old sucks

For any number of reasons, getting old sucks. But when your body starts betraying you it really blows. A couple of weeks ago I tweaked my back doing some simple yard work and had to take two weeks off from volleyball to heal. Of course, I did try going back too early initially and paid for it with sharp pains in my lower back.

Tonight was my first night back at our league after resting and the back felt fine. Then, less than a game and a half later, I rolled my ankle--badly. I've only rolled this bad once before, and that was probably more than five years ago. I walked off the court initially but now it's all swollen and can't really support my weight. Aaaaargh!!! Sooooo frustrating! All I want to do is play volleyball, is that too much to ask?
