First time playing basketball
Last weekend was the first time that I played basketball since my ATR. I went to a retreat and played some 3 on 3 basketball on Saturday afternoon. I didn’t push things too much — mostly not hustling as much as I should on defense, but I was able to run around, dribble, and most importantly score some points. 
It was nice to be back on the court. I felt some minor twitches in my achilles, I’m not sure if it’s some mental thing or if its the stitches, the scar tissue or the tendon — but when I felt something like that, I would slow down a bit.
Also had a chance to play some bump (aka knock-out) as well — it was actually a bit strenous as I was one of the last people in one game and I wanted to win badly. I had to do a bit of planting as I ran back to the foul line to shoot quickly … but everyone turned out fine.
