In Full Swing again

So, the Winter sports officially started a week ago (tomorrow).
We've already had two concussions! Wrestlers. What do you expect when they're slammin' each other on the mat? Honestly! For one of them I called the ambulance. Landed on his neck/shoulders and was having tenderness on the spine with tingling and numbness down his arms and hands. Scary! I sure didn't want to move him. He ended up being okay. No spinal fracture. Just sprained ligaments in his neck/back along with the concussion (his 4th). His parents decided he's done wrestling. Probably a good choice since he's like a zillion times more likely to get another concussion! Too bad though, I liked the kid.
Well, along with concussions, the rest of our wrestling team isn't doing so great either. I think I have about 10 guys dealing with injuries already (most were from football). Sprained AC, dislocating shoulder, back pain with instability, sprained knees, sprained ankles and fingers, random unexplained pains, unknown elbow injury (waiting for MRI). The list goes on. Poor guys. I dont think I'm ready for bloody, any injury's likely, gotta have quick hands cuz injury time's only 2 minutes, matches.
Ready or not!
