[Kind of Disturbing] Ever been hit HARD in the crotch?

On a more serious note, I've been hit there a couple times. The two that stand out to me the most:

1. When I was about 6 years old, I was jumping off the side of my above-ground swimming pool (kids, maybe you'll stop doing this after you hear my story), and I accidentally jumped too close to a friend lying on a raft. He reacted as anyone would have--by sticking his knees up in the air. You can guess what happened next--kneed RIGHT THERE will all my force coming down on it. Man, I balled my eyes out. But the swelling wasn't as bad as you have described.

2. I was playing pitcher in Little League, and, on a passed ball, I went home to cover the plate. Now, I must preface this by saying that we had an idiot for a catcher. Well, the ball ended up bouncing back about 1/2 way to the plate, so when the catcher got it, he was really only about 10 ft (or less) away from me. But, he still threw it about as hard as he could, and it just skimmed the bottom of the sack. I'd always heard that a flick or something like this actually hurts worse and a full blown kick, and in this instance, I believe it. I was so close to hurling, it wasn't funny. I don't think I finished the game.


In terms of what happened with you, Eddie, I'd just go see a doctor. It's MUCH BETTER to be safe than sorry when it deals with the soldiers!

Hope it works out ok.

 

Just to reinforce it...it's better to be safe than sorry. You can have many different types of transplants, but...you get where I'm going with this.

 

When I was 14-15, I worked on a horse ranch in the stables. There was this particularly ornery horse named Neil that would always try to bite me when I was brushing him down. One day I was putting him out to pasture and he decided to buck as he was headed through the fence gate, and caught me square in the crotch right about where Eddie got it. It wasn't -relatively- hard, but it knocked me back about six feet and knocked the wind out of me, and I was able to hobble over and close the gate (the horse was circling back for seconds). It didn't cause any lasting damage, although I had a hoof-shaped bruise that included a portion of my junk. I also had an untucked t-shirt on that had a hoof-shaped mud stain that wouldn't wash out. In retrospect, I'm lucky that it wasn't four inches lower or my close to my neck or face, or it would have done some serious damage or even killed me.

 

"I'm Thor!"

"You're Thor?"

"Well.... It hurts."

 

you should have your girlfriend take a look at it.

 

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I think you're a r****d for not seeing a doctor the day or day after this happened. Sorry for the harsh language but I think its necessary. Sheesh man, cmon.

 

Did you even read his first post? He's already been to the ER.

 

I just skimmed it. Guess I'm the r****d. Still I'd go back to the doctor pronto if I were you.

 

I agree.
