i wish it was a hangover

So. I got beamed in the head with the softball last night. I was tough. After a few minutes laying in the dirt feeling disoriented and dizzy i sat on the bench for half an inning, then went out again. After another inning i realized that i couldn't think straight and felt like i was only visiting my body.

Later on at home i started to feel really bad and barfy. I spent most of the night in emergency. I have an inner ear injury and a concussion.

The veterinarian on our team said that if i start walking in circles it's time to shoot me.

I'll be back in a couple.

Ouch! Hope you feel better soon.

Why do they call them "soft"balls? I have a friend whose eye socket got smashed by one...she needed reconstructive surgery.

Holy cats, woman! Enough with the bravery. I would have been curled up in a ball on the ground calling for an ambulance. :) Feel better!

Double yikes and that was barfy sounding. I only remember the nausea from my concussion. Take care of yourself. And next time... skip the vet and go straight to emerg;)

Bad and barfy. Terrible combination. No circle-walking for you, my friend. Get well soon.
