Was running to the net for the ball, suddenly I heard something that sounded like a melon hitting concrete. Must have blacked out for a second because I don't recall it.
I hit the concrete teeth first. Thought for sure I knocked out all my teeth. Got up and blood all over my lips and mouth.
I went home and couldn't close my mouth properly. Couldn't bite down because I guess misaligned my jaw? Had my dentist buddy grind down my two front teeth so I could close my mouth properly. He told me I might lose the teeth or they turn black, but so far they're just sore (how do your teeth hurt??)
When I fell, I held my racket, and the handle cracked my ribs.
Also, tore up my fingers on the concrete as I fell so now, all the fingers on my right hand are arthritic and hurting every day.
I'm supposed to play in a tournament this weekend, but I'm just afraid to be aggressive on balls.
BTW, about a month before that, I twisted my knee going after a ball and have been wearing a knee brace.
Tough sport.
