What Really Happened

For those who expressed concern for "Poor Worthy", we think we should explain a few things:

• His injury was worse than the pictures show. He completely tore his calf muscle. He heard it and felt it POP!
• The pictures are somewhat deceptive. Most of what appears in the photos are his strawberry birthmark which extends from toe to belly button.
• His dangerous golfing incident took place as he was climbing a steep hill to watch the trajectory of Worthy Jr.'s ball, so that they could find where it landed. Thus, WJr is not "totally innocent."
• He kept golfing all day for 2 more days, since he had paid to participate in the San Juan Amateur Golf Tournament with his oldest son.
• The one thing that he learned after the fact is that the first treatment after such an injury is to discontinue the activity that caused the injury.
• He consulted the internet to figure out what was causing his extreme pain and swelling and finally made a doctor's appointment. The doctor did not know what to do for him.
• After much pain and inability to function, he was finally persuaded to seek treatment from a physical therapist. Two weeks of physical therapy have finally enabled him to return to normal activity (not necessarily pain-free).
• He started golfing again last Friday.
