Knock on wood we have had very few injuries considering all the years our kids have been playing soccer. But Evan can now say he's had an injury while playing in highschool soccer. He went up for a header and was sandwhich between two players and one of the players shoulder rammed him right in the nose. He immediately fell to the turf and left a huge pool of blood (the nose really bleeds!!). After a few minutes he was helped to the sideline and the coach asked me if his nose looked crooked to me? Um...yes.
Luckily there was a trainer there at the game and he took us to the athletic room and told Evan to bite on some tape and he would be able to reset the nose back into place. Evan asked what the tape to bite on was for and the trainer said, you'll see...and boy did he. It was the most aweful loud sound I can imagine and Evan said it hurt way more going back in that getting hit and broken/dislocated in the first place. But amazingly, he only got two very small black eyes in the corner of his eye and after the swelling went down everything looks pretty good. He even went back in the game after half time, although he admits he probably shouldn't have....
Way to be tough! We're so glad everything is ok and the games can go on! Go Evan!!
