Falconer - For Life And Liberty

“A bruise or bruise is sometimes more painful than a fracture,” Dobesh said, “especially if the blow came in the bone.” I already know, I’m an old football player, my rib was broken, my collarbone and my toe. Today they do not play with such passion as in my time. Last year I went out onto the field once; we, the old people, decided to show the youth how they played before. I became a beck; like fifteen to twenty years ago. And so, just when I took the ball from the summer, my own goalkeeper kicked me in the sacrum, or else cauda eguina. In the heat of the game, I just cursed and forgot about it. Only at night the pain started! By morning, I could not move. Such pain that moving your hand hurts, sneezing hurts. It is wonderful how in the human body everything is connected with one another. I lie on my back, like a dead bug, I can even turn on my side, I can’t even lift a finger.Just yelling and groaning - it hurts so much.
