Inevitable

Just when you think I could make it through a game unscathed.

My teammate apparently had different thoughts when he shot the ball at my eye essentially at the buzzer.

The only good to come out of it was the extra long weekend, since I took the afternoon off Thursday after the game. My glasses were so bent out of shape, and I couldn't possibly read the screen without them anyway.

Kept the swelling down and saw my family doctor, who said it's only superficial. Still, it looked as though I was wearing eyeshadow and stuff.

Apparently blood vessels were ruptured in the eyeball, and half my eye was bright red by Sunday. It's almost completely gone now, so I think I'll be ready to go for today's game.
