Hey, everyone! I never figured softball would be a contact sport, but my body has taken a beating in my first go around w/the sport after 10+ years away.
Not only are my legs beat up, but now my head is too! Last night at third base, I luckily deflected a missile w/my glove that was headed for the middle of my face. The downside is the bullet deflected off my glove and then off my forehead which caused me to bleed like a stuck pig and then head off to the hospital for stitches.
It didn't hurt (seriously, I didn't even have a little headache from it...just a lot of blood) and the cat scan didn't show any negatives (except maybe a warped mind), so I'll have the stitches out and be back at 3rd next week.
Maybe my reflexes are a bit slower now that I'm closing in on 39 and I'll need to play a few feet behind the bag from now on. Probably the smart thing to do, eh?
