Today, I broke my collarbone in a rugby tournament. I was forced to sit through five more hours of games because the coach wouldn't take me to the hospital until the tournament was over. FML

Today, I was playing rugby. I was tackled very hard at the end of a play, and I got up to find my head bleeding profusely. Not one person offered to drive me to the ER. I had to drive myself to get six stitches in the face. FML

Today, after twisting my knee playing soccer with my friends, I had to take myself to the hospital. Apparently finishing the game was more important to them. FML

Today, I accidentally tackled my own teammate during a rugby match, so our coach made me walk the 5 miles back home instead of driving me home with the rest of the team. FML

Today, I discovered that the pain I've had for the past couple of weeks was actually due to a broken collar bone. Now work won't pay for the treatment I need because I continued to work despite the pain. FML

Today, I was in agonizing pain and couldn't move. My parents said they couldn't take me to the ER until the football game on TV was over. FML

Today, I went to the emergency room for a broken collarbone. This wouldn’t be so bad if my parents hadn’t paid $20,000 for me to go to a snowboarding academy all winter. Today was day one. FML

Today, I'm in hospital because of my brother. He followed me and my boyfriend around a fair yesterday dressed as a gorilla, and whenever we showed some sort of affection towards one another, he rugby tackled me. The final tackle caused me to break my wrist. FML

Was there no one else that could have taken you to the hospital at this tournament? I mean it sucks but the coach is still in charge of the other players too, it's he? Also, I freaking love what some call American football but I have to totally respect the game of rugby! The rules are still a little fuzzy but after watching the All Blacks first do their Haka war dance, I was so interested in learning more about rugby! It's pretty bad ass!(:

Marinus, I am actually!(: I watched "the great rugby game of all times" on YouTube and couldn't believe the excitement of it! I believe I only have a couple months until the season starts. I need to learn the rules. Like I said, they're fuzzy! :P

I went to the Vegas sevens with a couple of my mates, and it was amazing. We cheered with the Kenyan crowd and they gave us flags and we sang with them. It was amazing to see all those different countries and cultures coming together for a few games of rugby.

I'm pretty sure there are more responsible adults in a game than the coach. Why didn't you find someone else?

Poor baby. You know what the treatment for a fractured clavicle is? A sling, a couple of pain pills, and a shot of Shutupicillin. There IS no treatment (unless it's an open fracture). You chose to play a violent game, and this is one of the risks. Walk it off, princess. You'll be fine in 6-8 weeks.
