I was U for a game. Play ended, I stepped toward the pile. Out of the corner of my eye two players still engaged in the block come for me. They smack into me, send my flying backwards. I put my arm out to brace myself (big mistake!) landed, head bounced off the turf, did half a backward somersault and got up.
Arm hurt like heck. Went to the ER Sunday. Had a hairline fracture. Didn't miss a game the rest of the year. Wife said she'd make me quit if I got hit again and needed surgery! I wasn't touched the rest of the year. WHEW!
