So in my last checkup, the doc told me that I can resume contact sports after the first week, so I played my first match last week with no problems. Basically my goal was to not get beamed in the face with a volleyball. Everything went great...that was last week.
Tonight I went up for a block against one of the opponent's stronger hitters. Well, I got a solid touch on the ball...unfortunately, it was with my face. It slammed against the left side of my face, right where the eye was. Luckily, I closed the eye in time...and double luckily, I think nose and cheek bone took the brunt of the blast. I did see some stars just afterward, but everything seemed normal. I had all these scary thoughts of the flap coming loose or ripping (yikes!), and I'm happy to report that all is good. These eyeball things are apparently pretty robust creatures. :)
I spent the next 5 games winking at random things, checking to see if any problems came up. So far, so good.
Btw, the eye is kind of a middle fluctuation day today. (Slightly blurry 20/20 line, but readable without guessing)
