Does anyone else have an injury? or hardygrrl is a bad ass hockey goon...

Well there’s the time the treadmill kicked me off (No, I didn’t have the safety switch on and yes I know I should have.) and I had abrasions from the belt on the back of both thighs from just above my knee to the curve of my rear end. It’s really pitiful to think that a treadmill can beat me up and have me sitting on ice packs for three days. :o

Busted open my knee today playing hockey. I have no idea how it happened, I had my pads on and didn’t take a stick or anything. I didn’t even realize it until I got home and took my hockey pants off, and tore the skin open again.
OK, not a major injury, but the thread was just staring at me.

Silently hands blur an ice pack for his knee and iampunha an ice pack for his…

Past injuries of note:

Three broken wrists
Seven dislocated shoulders
Two concussions
Hernia
Bruised ribs
Multiple contusions and bruises on various parts

Current injury:

I got hit just below my right eye in sword class a few weeks ago; got a minor black eye and the whole right side of my face was numb once it stopped hurting, if that makes any sense. It was numb for a week or two, and the sensation’s still not all back yet. It feels like I’ve been to the dentist and the novacaine is just starting to wear off.

Update

First game of the Championships, take a very hard shot to the boards.

When I get home, I’m in a lot of pain and have a bruise all over my left side. Icing barely helps.
Go to the ER and get x-rayed. I have two broken ribs. I get a super sexy support bandage and a prescription for Vicodin.

And I’m so pathetic, 'cuz I still want to play despite doctor’s orders. :frowning:

Go Hardygrrl! When hockey season is over how bout you show the NWO or whatever the hell pro wrestling is called how to do it right? I grew up and still live in southern USA so I haven’t had a lot of exposure to hockey. A few years ago I went to a minor league hockey game…my very first hockey game ever…and I thought it was cool. Kinda like wrestling but with big sticks!

Oh and I got a nasty paper cut first thing this morning…it hurts!

I was playing hockey (ice) this past Sunday night on right wing. The puck was in our defensive zone and was passed along the boards to the D-man at the point. I was trying to hurry over there when he wound up and took a slap shot (and this guy has arguably the hardest shot in the league). I was about 10 ft. from him and I saw the puck heading for my left leg. I tried to lift my foot up and it caught me right on the top of the foot. Holy shit, did that hurt. Prolly the least protected area, too. If I hadnt moved my leg, it probably would’ve bounced off my shin pad and I could’ve possibly turned it into a breakaway. Anyways, after about 10 minutes of walking it off on the bench I decided to try and play another shift. I was favoring my left foot so much that I pulled a groin muscle in my right thigh. That was it… I was all done and we lost 5-3 to boot. Now I can only take little baby steps and climbing stairs are almost impossible. Still, I cant wait to get back out there… Hope you recover soon, Hardygrrl. I like your style. :wink:
