Basketball is a Dangerous Sport

I never would have thought that when I signed up to play in an social basketball leauge that I would have sustained so many injuries. I think I got more injuries playing basketball than I have in muay Thai Kickboxing!

Our team had a game tonight… pretty close score. As I go up for the defensive rebound I see this girl’s arm swing into my face. I went down to the floor in pain and the first thing I thought about was if my work benefits package covered cosmetic dentistry! I got hit in the nose/mouth with this chick’s forearm… man, did it hurt. I though my teeth were knocked out, but it only ended up being a busted lip and a bleeding nose. At least my opponent apologized after.

Sure was a lot of blood though.  The school attendant went missing so we couldn’t get an ice-bag or gauze, so one of my teammates was nice enough to grab some snow from outside and put in a plastic bag so that I can use to stop the swelling :) .  It’s feeling a tad better now, but the lip’s still swollen.  I would post a pic, but don’t want to scare any of you… :D

Damn, chicks can be rough. I think I’ll take up organized curling.
