Hey all,
I sorta work up in the emergency room with a splitting headache and messed up knee. Something to do with horses, and a great ambulance ride. Very nice nurses, getting to play with an MRI and a mild concussion.
I just want to remember what the h*ll happened. So life is going to be entertaining for a while. And my mom is beside herself, but my friends were there for me. And I guess the horse is okay.
As for my scrambled brains , who in the h*ll knows. I was able to sleep for a bit, but its nearly 5 am in the morning. And the whole things seems like a bad dream ! But the messed up knees say other wise.
Well just to let you all know. And if you have the urge to share your concussion stories, well we have a topic for it now.

Da 'Yeyinde I think

Kinda sounds like the morning after i wake up from a huge night on the drink

Mar.

Amnesia are quite common with troumas to the head.

Often after a rugby match one of the players from my team would not remember some part of it. Then again Rugby is a proper sport not like football

I know, rugby is a real mans game, its the best, what position you play Prez?

Mar.

That is kinda how I felt when my best friend gave me a concussion with a hockeystick. It's been three years and I still have a bump and scar.

I used to play left wing

But then I broke my right clavical. I came of the pitch and went to have a shower (I didn't realise I broke anything, just that I badly hurt my shoulder). By the time I realised what happened, it was the end of the match so I got a lift to casualty I found my replacement there. The gut stapped on soo bad that he could hardly read the text on the well 3 ft away.

Then the next season I broke my left clavical. The season after that I dislocated my left shoulder. Thats the point I decided to stop playing

By clavicals are bend like a boomerang

I must concur with the nations that have real foot ball. When I lived in Australia, I remember the matches..
OUch!!
Oh and I have to put in a correction it is not Retro grade amnesia is Ante grade amnesia.
Although american grid iron football can be very nasty when the entire front line is 5 guys ALL over 300 pounds and not a lot of that is fat. Imagine a shortish basketball player.. the linemen are all way over 6 ft now and 300 pounds. Some one is gonna get hurt, its usually the guy with the ball.

@ Prezes and Mar
Hey, why are all y'all dissing American Football? Just because we have pads on don't mean that we don't get busted up just as bad, Hell it's an extra 10 pounds you're luggin around. Try wearin all that in 100 degree Texas heat for 3.5 hours straight everyday, I am not mad, but that makes us no less "Men" than y'all are w/o pads.

@Yeyinde
He knows what I mean.............

Yeah, imagine a 250 pound Linebacker that can run a 40yard dash in 4.2seconds (the speed of a reciever) and benches 375 pounds(the strength of a lineman) running and smaking into you while your standing still. That what the unfortuate quarterbacks have to experience. OR your charging head first at a 260 pound Full Back thats going Ballz out through a hole, and you gotta stop him.

Sorry, language barrier.

I was speaking English not American

Football in the UK is what you guys over the pond call Soccer, we call your sport American Football.

I believe the people like David Beckham & co have to balls and don't know what a proper sport is.
You need an acting degree these days to play football (soccer). Some-one touches you and you fall over and grab you knee, row over and over in pain. Thats just sooo sad.

Oh I whole heartedly agree with the Beckham thing... But you have to love the womens soccer (footy) here in the US.
They just love to rip off their clothing if they even come close to winning a match..
The sport, I think is .....um.....kinda lame but kewl is Cricket.
Although I love the terminology that comes with the game.
A sticky wicket!! hehehehehe

Ooooooooh, ok. Sorry about that. That was one of my original thoughts, but then again you were reffering to RUGBY, which IS sorta like American football without pads. In any case, nevermind then. I already knew that (FOOTBALL= SOCCER) thing, but again y'all reffered to RUGBY so I thought y'all meant smash mouth.

@Yeyinde
(female soccer)
Yeeehaw, that's what I'm talking about!

Try Hurling. I've never done it myself, but I think they are allowed to whack each other with their sticks. That game looks painful...

Hey I figured out the worlds most boring sport.. Curling.
They actually use polished stones with a handle glued on the top, brushes and something like a squeegy,
One person slides as far as they can and two other people slide in front of it and try to get it to to hit a bullseye and knock their opponents stones out of the way and get as close to the center as possible.

i would rather watch paint dry or bet on cow chip poker.

I am soooo happpy!!!!
I got my MRI yesterday.. The only thing I can tell you about that is... bring your own ear plugs, you know the little ones you get if you go shooting or can get at the airport??!!
I felt like I had no hearing protection on , and then went on a very loud helicopter.
Uggghhhhhhhhh

But I got a last minute appt today with the knee doctor.. And...


Wait for it....

I do not have anything torn!!!
So
No surgery!!!
YAHHHH
Just a really badly bruised knee. with fluid on it...
blahhh, it looks bad, but I am soo happy!!!
heehehehehehehe
and all this on the day Avp came out!!!

Da yeyinde

Good deal man. Glad to see some luck rollin your way.

I remember when i bruised my knee bad, i was at a MotoX track and totally "endoed" fliped my KDX-200 over forward in a rythm jump section, my knee musta hit something (like the pegs or the exahaust pipe in front), because later that day, it swole up HUGE, and was black blue and purple. Luckly though i had no fluid, but still......pretty bad.
