Shocked

Last night was one that I wish I could erase from my memory. I was pumped, as usual to play my indoor game, it was only our second game of the season. We were tied, 0-0 and there were about 10 minutes in the second half. I was on the sidelines taking our turn of sitting 3 minutes out and letting other players get a chance on the field. The ball was down near our goal and our goalie, one of my close friends, just caught the ball. The instant she had the ball, one of our opponent's teammate took her feet out  from under her, and she literally fell 3 feet in the air onto the ground. She automatically jumped back on her feet, gave two ear-piercing screams of pain and screamed "My arm is broken!". That image have been playing in my mind since last night. It was one of the most horrifying things that I have ever seen. She broke her arm in three places and went into surgery this morning. I really hope she is alright.
