This one guy, the same one who was really choppy on me the first time we played them kept being a dick. He took an early penalty attempting to defend against me.
At the start of the third period I came out of my zone to try to block a dump-in. Turns out it was the same guy. I swear he stepped into me as I tried to get around him because I'm good enough not to collide with a stationary target. In any case, we collide and I'm sent to the ice. When I hit I take the impact in my left shoulder. I can't get up.
After having someone else tie my shoes for me after the game (around midnight) I drove home (stick shift with turbo, one armed) and attempted a painful night's sleep. The next day I went into urgent care and had xrays done. My shoulder wasn't broken or fractured but I HAD separated it, first-degree.
So I'm off the ice for at least three weeks, maybe four. It's been a pretty miserable five days since. As of today I'm probably at about 70% motion with it but about 10% strength.
On the one hand, it kind of sucks. On the other hand, the times when I wasn't getting injured were times when I wasn't doing anything at all. So this is what is. I can't say I'm thrilled about it but I'm taking it in stride.
