Sportsmanship

This Tops Them All
Today we live in a world where winning is the most important thing. It's win at all costs! Someone said, "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser." Even parents get in fights at little league games. There are many examples of poor sportsmanship. That's why what I am sharing with you impressed me so much!

I have never seen a better example of true sportsmanship than what is shown in this YouTube video. It's unbelievable....

sports·man·ship: noun : conduct (as fairness, respect for one's opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing) becoming to one participating in a sport

Good sports are winners!

Health Update
I got that CT Scan yesterday, but won't know anything for a few days... Probably Monday. I've decided it's not a kidney stone, but I don't know what it is.

It started on my left side and in the back with terrible pain that made it difficult to move. That was on Monday. Then by late Tuesday the pain was in my chest and ribs, like a bad pulled muscle. Then Wednesday it went to my back on the right side, and Thursday I just felt some general soreness in my chest on the right side and in my rib cage. The pain was like a stabbing knife anytime I moved, especially when I would try to lie down. If I didn't know better, I would have guessed I had been run over by dump truck
across my chest. I feel pretty good now. Just one pain pill yesterday.

UPDATE
I got my CT scan results this morning. The kidney stones are still in the kidney and are not the problem. Go back to the doctor Monday.

I do not have a gall bladder or appendix... they were gone many years ago. The soreness is slowly going away. Still a little in my right chest and ribs. It hurts a little when I cough.
