Safety first!
ALWAYS, ALWAYS WEAR YOUR GOGGLES WHEN PLAYING RACQUETBALL!!!I got slammed in the face today with a racquetball straight off my opponent's racket. The ball hit right where my eyeball was and shoved the goggles sideways into my nose. I knew it hurt, but was just going to shake it off and continue. Then I saw the blood. So I proceeded back across the gym to the locker room to try and clean up. Definitely an interesting experience. After cleaning up and shaking off what happened, I went back to the guys and decided it was time to finish playing. :-) If getting hit in the nose wasn't enough, I gave myself a pretty good whelp on the elbow with my racket, but that is fairly common.
I still don't technically know if my nose is broken or not (likely not), but it still hurts. It's not excruciating pain, so I think I'm alright. But thank goodness I had my goggles on, otherwise I might not have an eyeball!
Pictures to follow later, if things look a lot worse in the morning.
