Injury - what a pain

I recently played 5 a side football in a Dads tournament, and survived a whole 8 minutes till getting an injury. I hyper extended my knee, after it jarred into the ground under a tackle. The initial pain is bad enough, but in my line of work, and being self employed, alsorts of bad thoughts crossed my mind. A week later, 2 trips to Hospital and x-rays, there doesn't seem to be anything broken or snapped - phew. But ligament and tendon over stretching. Time seems to helping the healing process and hopefully in a couple of weeks I will be able to start running again and building up my fitness. I have not trained myself now for over a week and it is so frustrating. I have sympathy with anyone wanting to play, participate in a sport and not be able to due to injury.
So keep the faith, train hard when you can, and be positive.
