I got tripped playing soccer on Sunday afternoon. A teammate passed the ball in front of me, so it was just me and the goalie. He came charging out at me, so I kicked the ball past him. He slid and I tried to jump over him but he clipped my feet and sent me tumbling to the ground. I face planted right into the turf. It was no frozen tundra but it hurt. The goalie got a yellow card. The diagram below illustrates what happened. Note that I'm wearing the cape only to show who the hero is. I usually do not wear one in public.
My face was rug burned and cut up yesterday and now today it has really swelled up on the left side. I pretty much anticipated having to explain what happened to coworkers today. I hate having to explain it every 10 minutes. Its the same story all day.
What I think is even worse though is the people that don't ask a thing. They talk to me and they just stare with that "D**n! WTF happened to your face!?!?" look, but ask nothing. I wonder what their theories are.
The worst part about it is that now I can't shave. The "rug burn" and soreness are all over the left side of my face and in the facial hair. I'm gonna be Grizzly Adams by the end of the week.
