| Absolutely HUMILIATED in front of thousands of people! I am so embarrassed I can barely type! Well between my pride and my injury I'm a right mess! I went to the RPI hockey game tonight (the college I teach at) b/c the class I teach had been offered the opportunity to build a device that shoots hockey pucks. The top 10 teams got to compete at the final game of the semester. Long story short I had 3 teams competing and went to show my support. Well the head of the Engineering department wanted help judging and asked me to help out at the end of the game. I said SURE! And so I begin to walk to where he is on the ice and sure enough I wiped out so hard I had blood soaking through my jeans! The paramedics arrived (one of them was my student), bandaged up my knee but OMG I am so embarrassed Thousands of people saw me do this and I held up the competition, not to mention one of the corporate guests I use in the classroom was there. My knee is killing me and I can't stop LAUGHING at myself! |

| Oh crap...I'm sure that did hurt! *Try* to look at it this way, I'm sure you are not the first person in the history of hockey to fall and get hurt on the ice...and I doubt you'll be the last. |

Awwww thank you all so much! I think that's part of the reason I'm so humilitated, I have played hockey all my life so I should have been more cautious since they just re-iced but OMG I just want to crawl into a hole! | |

| Oh my! Sorry you were hurt but proud of you for keeping a sense of humor about it all! Just think, you can wear your "hockey injury" as a badge of honor for a while. Maybe you could modify a hockey stick for a cane. And I would definately write the quote from dortego across your classroom blackboard! Hope the injury is not serious and you are back to chasing your little rascals soon!

| I am so very sorry that you hit the ice. I know that hurts. I can only imagine how embarrasing it was.... How is your knee? It is really hard to present oneself as a serious professional when you bust your bootie and are bleeding all over the ice. It takes a "big" person to be able to laugh at one's self. I hope your students appreciate you .... sounds like you go way above the call of duty. You need a TEACHING MEDAL OF HONOR for our fallen teachers (most especially for those who fall and get up to try again). Sending get well wishes and hugs |
