A ball bounced up and cracked me one on the jaw on the weekend. I'm fine, but I'm probably developing a lov-er-ly bruise.
My right hand is getting a real hiding this season: I've got bruises on top of bruises (one of them I swear I did two weeks ago, and it's just popped up in a lovely shade of olive green), and I think that a particularly hard whack has bust a couple of veins which are now very blue on the back of my hand. If you hold my two hands together, you can really see the difference!
The knees are holding up - mostly - although I do occasionally feel like things are stretching where they shouldn't...like anterior cruciate ligaments. *grimaces* I really don't want to have to get knee surgery, but I'm a little worried that's ultimately where my right knee is headed. Maybe not this year or the next but...someday.
Team-wise things are better. We actually had just enough players on Sunday and I got a full game out of it - played reasonably, although my co-wing (on the other side) scored all the goals. It was very tiring, but a good game - and not just because we won. The team we played against is always a challenge, but also good sports - no bitchy play. It was pretty close, and first they were ahead 1-0, then we were ahead 2-1, they pulled in a 2nd goal, and we skived a third one. (I think J is still amazed she got that one in - the angle was very sharp.)
I was pretty winded by the end, though; I'm not used to playing a full game, and it takes a toll on you when you also have to play hard all the way through both halves of the game.
Might have to take up some running in the next couple of weeks
