day 205

So I was pretty excited about being able to backflip. so excited, in fact, that I wanted to take pictures in the dark of me flipping to see if the flash would pick it up. that brings us to 10.30pm last night, me on the tramp, Joss wielding the camera. In the 5 minutes following this scenario I learnt a lot of things:
1, dont do crazy stuff on the trampoline at night
2, always concentrate on landing a tricky flip
3, jumping high builds a LOT of momentum for when things go wrong
4, It hurts like crazy when you slam your chin and neck into a steel bar
5, you are too soccer crazy if your first thought is "oh crap I've broken my jaw so I wont be able to play soccer tomorrow."
6, when your hand is inexplicably wet from holding your jaw, it probably means you are bleeding
7, when you feel a steady dripping sensation, it probably means you are bleeding A LOT.
8, It transpired that i am quite afraid of the prospect of chin stitches.
9, small scratches can become big arse bruises overnight
10, dont trust Jocelyn to get photos of all of this because the silly girl will be too worried with your wellbeing.
Injury register: fairly deep split in my chin, crazy sore jaw, super long superficial scratch down my arm, huge pretty bruise on the other arm and a neck that feel like someone clocked it with a crow bar. But I can still backflip!
