SPORTS INJURY! We managed to play football tonight, without the kids from last week kicking off. Very early on, I was running full pelt to keep the ball in play (and failed), and had to decide whether to break the impact with the iron cage surrounding the pitch with my hand or my face. I went for the hand, but spent the last half hour of the game in the kind of pain I've never experienced before. I don't know if I've ever been in agony, but this must be the closest I've come. It didn't help that I kept getting fouled and breaking my fall with the same hand. Then I went in goal and made a save with it as well. Came home and spent the evening with my hand on a bag of peas and watched Senna. (I cried at the end).
