It was a three game Saturday for me today.  It was pouring down rain when I left but luckily it had cleared up by the end of the first game otherwise I would have been completely miserable.  The Clubbies won! but the reserves and the seniors lost.  It was a big day for the seniors and reserves as well.  They were playing on the professional teams ground, but lost....by 1 point.  What a bummer.  I did have quite a few good injuries. One player had a slipped disc.  Right in front of me.  Normally I see patients a few months down the track not as they do the initial disc injury.  I also had a player with a dislocated rib and one with the worse bruise I have ever seen.  Here they call it a corkie, it is forceful contact that results in a sub-dermal hematoma.  His was so bad that it immediately turned black and covered his entire thigh.  Pretty crazy! After footy I went out for Sri Lankan food with my friends.  It was delicious and spicy.  Then we took food to our friends with plumbing problems.  Their house is quite gross and flooded with sewage luckily their landlord is paying for them to have a hotel until the damage has been cleaned.  I'm so glad that my plumbing problems are better:)
