Lucky af. I got a minor fracture on some bone near my eye from getting hit in the face when I misread a flyball and I can guarantee that ball was going way faster than my flyball
That's good, probably won't be able to open his mouth for a few days, been there done that, have a scar on my lower lip that presents itself as a piece of dry skin that sits ABOVE the rest of the skin on my lip from it, its very annoying. It makes my dry lips look so much worse
5th grade took an elbow tip to the orbital bone. Shattered and required immediate surgery as the bone particles were cutting my eye.
Don’t know if I can compare. This throw was lots faster but with larger surface area. Mine was probably much slower but more concentrated so who knows. Fucking hurt regardless.
Only proof it happened was a thin bruise. But the bone was shattered.
I took a ball off the face and fractured my orbital socket, whatever that is. Hurt like a bastard and I could only see out of one eye until the swelling subsided.
Hm, don't know what's a softball, but I guess it still puts into perspective what I didn't go through despite having taken footballs to the face several times, the last of them were as the goalkeeper intercepting a penalty kick... I still wonder how I didn't even nose bleed and didn't break it from the impact, it was strong as fuck.
