Mad skillz

Remember my awesome softball-ness last week?

I knew I should have retired then.

In a single, epic moment of softball greatness I managed to skin all 4 of my appendages at once.  Yep.  That’s right.  I feel like it takes a pretty interesting fall to skin both knees, a hand and an elbow in one fell swoop.

Evidence. (Because I know you wouldn’t have believed me if I didn’t have evidence).

Left knee doesn’t really hurt, but there was visible skinnage, and I was going for the quad-fecta.

No single appendage hurts a lot, they all hurt a little.  Mostly just stinging.  Shower’s gonna feel great in the morning.  Ha.

But seriously.  Here’s how it happened.  I’m playing 2nd, left field throws me the ball and it’s a little high so I jump.  {Large} girl on the opposing team is running down 2nd and gets one of her feet tangled with mine while I’m in the air and she’s trying to tag 2nd.  My feet get pushed behind me as I’m coming down and I basically fall forward and land on all fours to save my face from eating dirt.  It happened in slow motion.  I knew it was going to hurt before I hit the ground.  I try and be tough, but I’m not.  I’m 100% confident that it was an accident, but if I had done the same thing to someone else, I would have apologized and asked if they were ok.  Just saying.

Everything stings a little, but it could be worse.  I could have dislocated something.  This is how you’re suppose to fall, Nick 🙂
