#28 - my face, part two

i did it again, less than a week after the last time. my face was a target for some guy's hard shot. i found out later his name is kevin. we were playing extrava danza, one of the top teams in our division. we didn't expect to do well at all but it was fun times. i didn't see the ball coming but it hit me on the right side (to balance out last week's left side hit) and i pretty much fell back flat. i laid there for awhile holding my head, which was dizzy. then i turned over and started laughing. it was pretty damn funny. kevin ran over straight away and apologized. he felt really bad.

later at the bar they bought us our "loser's pitcher", plus kevin sent over another "face shot pitcher" AND he brought over a "slow screw against the wall" for me too. he was so sweet.

#21 - mallet finger

i hurt my finger playing dodgeball tonight at pickup. actually it was before we even really started. i went to catch a ball that wasn't even thrown hard and it hit the tip of my finger. i thought i just jammed it but then i couldn't extend the end of my finger at all except using my other hand to do it passively. craziness.



so what did i do? taped that baby up and played 2 hours of dodgeball. it was great but i couldn't throw for the life of me. i worked on some catching but it still sucked. so now i'm doing some RICE protocol, got it splinted and asked all my athletic trainer friends for advice on whether or not i should go see a dr. obviously i should...eventually but for now i think this will be fine. it doesn't hurt and i think it's pretty under control. i'll take pics of it tomorrow when i take the tape off to re-splint it. i had to go buy an ice cream bar so i could splint it with the stick!! haha
