It's really very kind of exciting. Last night (about 3 hours after realizing that I had indeed lived through hellacious stomach bug 2008) I had my first work related injury. It's more than exciting, it's pretty amazing, I mean, they actually let me, with all my super powers of spaz-ability and my magnetism for all things accident do shit like stand on football fields during football games (still blows my mishap prone mind every single time) and it has taken almost 5 years for me to actually get injured. Some in the know folks might use the word miracle here. (Because it is, I mean I would have bet against myself people.) And speaking of miracle, here it is: Ta da..... presenting, hematoma I 2008!
Here is what happened. I was shooting a basketball game and white team was trying to shoot when guy from green team slapped the shit out of the ball just to prevent white team guy from shooting even though he was going to slap the ball off the court and guess who was right in the firing line of said ball? Yup, me and my jelly rolls. I was only maybe 6 feet away from the slapper and that ball just shot straight into me, made a gross kind of thwump noise and then because it hit so hard it bounced (or maybe it hit my rock hard 8 pack. pfftt!) right back towards the court. I took it like a woman though, I was majorly tough. I turned, took a few steps toward the side of the court where my sports editor happened to be, took a deep breath and turned right back to doing my job. Green team guy did jog up to me mouthing he was so sorry, and I just said "I'm okay!" and motioned for him to get back to the game. Little hemo burned all night and only began to show his colors when I woke up this morning. I'm thinking that this kind of internal bleeding probably needs another day to really reach it's full potential, so don't be surprised if you meet up with little hemo again! You know what they say: Have iphone, will record injuries!
