Jimbo has been playing a few games lately.
He's been trying to stay or get in great shape for his upcoming half marathon. To do this he's been playing basketball for a couple of hours, twice a week. And playing in a soccer league.
Seriously. I don't know how long his body can hold out. Two twisted ankles. (Now he owns and wears high tops-- even though he still twists the ankles.) And lots and lots of bloodied legs. ick.
But last night. This one was a doozy. He was playing goalie and took a knee to the head. He stupidly amazingly drove himself home. He made it. Lots of blood, a bump, and all the makings of a concussion. I was about to take him to the ER.... but he insisted he was okay. Not a great night's sleep for me-- I had to make sure he was still breathing. He didn't have too bad of a headache today... but some beautiful shades of black and blue appearing every hour. Yikes.
I say he has to play with a little less fierceness or stop playing. Every game equals an injury. And seriously.... the Wagner household can only take so much!! I've about reached my maximum limit for health problems.
a broken hand (Riley)
a black widow spider bite (Andrea)
mono (Kevin)
a reappearance of hives (Jacquie-thankfully it wasn't too bad)
head trauma, twisted ankles, and numerous flesh wounds (Jim)
and
hand surgery (me! this was scheduled.... 'just' a cyst removal)
