PSA: A BIG reason not to play softball (or other sports) before your wedding!

Cackle6

So I kinda figured I would be taking spring softball season off next spring because I will have a lot going on right before the wedding and all. Well, tonight I added another reason not to play:
 


So I was playing catcher tonight, and there was a play at the plate (which is why I play catcher, I live for plays at the plate!). The throw from the outfield was PERFECT, in the exact right spot, I caught it, and went to tag the runner. Now in our league, since it's a recreational league, the rules state that if there is a close play, the runner has to either slide or surrender (meaning the have to give up and run around or get out of the way). Well, this guy decides that instead of doing either of those, that he's going to JUMP over me to get to home plate. Yeah, I'm short,but I'm not THAT short. So he kneed me in the head. This bump was about 3 times this size when I first got off the ground. So yeah, needless to say, I am NOT playing softball before the wedding!

Oh dear! You poor thing, that looks like it HURTS!  So sorry that happened!
A girlfriend of mine got married a few years ago and had a nasty black eye (field hockey) during her wedding.  Luckily she found some expensive amazing makeup that covered it completely.  Her doctor had been telling her to keep cold compresses on it, but it wasn't until someone advised her to switch to hot that the bruise finally started breaking up and going away.  Not in time for the wedding though!  Fortunately because of the makeup there was no trace of that bruise.
Any sign of a concussion?  Keep an eye on that-head injuries are nothing to mess with!
